A magnetotelluric study of the Alpine Fault, New Zealand   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Magnetotelluric soundings have been made at seven locations on a 4  km profile crossing the Alpine Fault in the South Island of New Zealand. The 'distortion' techniques of Groom & Bailey (1989 ) and Lilley (1998a , b ) have been used to derive regional apparent resistivity and phase curves that correspond to electromagnetic induction in orientations parallel and perpendicular to the fault. 2-D inversion of the regional responses reveals that a narrow (<1  km wide) conductive zone is associated with the Alpine Fault. This conductor is most probably related to the heating of deep circulating meteoric water in a region in which enhanced temperatures occur at shallow depth due to the tectonic uplift of the Southern Alps.  相似文献

Summary. In terms of lateral variations in conductivity structure, the southern Southern Uplands and Northumberland Basin are characterized by a region of attenuated vertical magnetic fields with small spatial gradients reflecting the presence of a substantial conducting zone. Five magnetotelluric data sets from the region have been analysed to provide accurate and unbiased estimates of the impedance tensor. The response data are used to investigate the deep geoelectric crustal structure of the region. Three appropriate sets of response data have been subjected to two construction algorithms for 1-D inversion. The geoelectric profiles recovered identify a deep crustal conducting zone underlying the Northumberland Basin. The zone, modelled as a layered structure, dips steeply from mid-crustal depths underneath the Northumberland Basin to lower crustal depths to the NW. The structure thus correlates, in location and geometry, with a deep crustal reflecting wedge detected offshore by a deep seismic reflection profile.  相似文献

Aquifer-bearing intermontane sedimentary basins of the Sierras Pampeanas in the northwest of Argentina are in general very deep and narrow and contain economically important deposits of Tertiary sediments. This paper presents the results of a study to characterize the sedimentary basin bounded to the west by Sierra de Famatina and to the east by Sierra de Velasco, where an electromagnetic sensing technique, the magnetotelluric (MT) method, was applied. 12 MT sites were deployed along a 30  km E–W transect. Some of the data collected were used to derive a 2-D resistivity model of the basin. The model shows a subsurface trough with a thick (approximately 8  km) sedimentary sequence above it. Anomalous behaviour of the E–W electric-field component ( E y ) was detected in the period range 1–100  s, where the amplitude of this component was below the instrumental noise level. The cause of this anomaly is not known, but it might be due to the presence of an embedded conducting body between 8 and 10  km, which would give rise to N–S current channelling.  相似文献

A methodology to determine quantitatively the dimensionality of the dominant conducting structures and the resolution of the structural parameters in magnetotelluric data is presented. In addition, the method recovers the regional impedance responses when the regional structure can be characterized, at least approximately, as 1- or 2-D. The methodology is based upon three general models of the MT tensor, each of which has a distinct parameterization and physical interpretation. A weighted statistical residual describes quantitatively the fit of the model response to the data within the scatter of the measured data and hence permits: (1) tests of dimensionality, (2) determination of the appropriate strike angle, and (3) recovery of the regional responses.
The method has been tested extensively with synthetic data and proven to be successful. These synthetic studies give insight into the different physical parameterizations and the stability of the parameters determined. We describe and illustrate some of these synthetic studies. With field data, the methodology is not always as straightforward, but its application to a great many sites has proven valuable. Data from two closely spaced sites, which are both affected by strong but very different 3-D effects, are analysed to illustrate the geological significance of the results. The analyses reveal and recover regional responses within the data which indicate the presence of electrical anisotropy located deep in the crust and upper mantle. Analyses of the entire data set, of which these two form a part, confirm this finding.  相似文献

The effect of anisotropy on the distribution of Earth's conductivity is evaluated by calculating the electromagnetic response of multilayered 2-D structures. The electric and magnetic fields are expanded in terms of Fourier series, the coefficients being obtained by applying the corresponding boundary conditions on each interface, given by arbitrary analytical functions. Then the results are used to analyse some particular structures.  相似文献
