crustal conductivity structure of a continental margin, from magnetotelluric investigations
the deep internal structure of the crust can be determined using appropriate seismic and electromagnetic methods. the natural source magnetotelluric (mt) method is the most suitable electromagnetic technique for probing into the deep crust. a long period magnetotelluric data set obtained in the southern chilean andes is investigated in this paper. dimensionality analysis shows that the data may...
متن کاملElectrical resistivity structure at the SAFOD site from magnetotelluric exploration
[1] The magnetotelluric dataset collected on the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield has been re-analyzed using superior inversion algorithms that have been developed in recent years. A combination of constrained inversion, forward modeling and synthetic inversion studies are used, and show that at the SAFOD site, the low resistivity fault zone extends to a depth of 2–3 km. An extended zone of low r...
متن کاملCrustal structure of the North Anatolian and East Anatolian Fault Systems from magnetotelluric data
Magnetotelluric (MT) studies can map subsurface resistivity structure and have located zones of low resistivity (high conductivity) within major strike-slip fault zones worldwide which have been interpreted as regions of elevated fluid content. This study describes MT data from the eastern part of the North Anatolian and the East Anatolian Fault Systems (NAFS and EAFS) and presents the results ...
متن کاملA clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting
This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...
متن کاملMagnetotelluric inversion for 2D anisotropic conductivity structures
We report on progress in developing a magnetotelluric inversion method for two-dimensional anisotropic conductivity distribution. A standard two-dimensional model is discretized into a number of rectangular cells, each with a constant conductivity tensor, and the solution of the inverse problem is obtained by minimizing a global objective functional consisting of data misfit, a structural const...
