GEODYNAMICS

In order to study the deep structure of the southwestern Ukrainian Carpathians, where the Carpathian conductivity anomaly is located, in 2015 and 2020, modern synchronous magnetotelluric studies were carried out on the profiles of Mukachevo-Skole, Seredne-Borynya and Karpatsky at twenty-three points and the spatiotemporal distribution and the electric field on the Earth's surface, which can be used to assess the conductivity and geoelectrical structure of the region, was obtained. Processing of experimental data was performed using the software PRC_MTMV, which provides a common noise-canceling impedance estimation for synchronous magnetotellurical recordings. Curves of apparent electrical resistivity (amplitude values and phases of impedance) from 10 to 10000 s were obtained reliably. A joint analysis of the apparent resistivity and impedance phases and the formal interpretation of the deep magnetotellurical sounding curves using the Niblett transformation indicate the presence of the spatially inhomogeneous conductor both in the earth's crust and in the upper part of the upper mantle. The chain of local conductive sections in the earth's crust coincides with the axial part of the Carpathian conductivity anomaly. High conductivity of the upper mantle was recorded in the Ukrainian Carpathians from the Transcarpathian Depression to the Skiba cover. It is shown that it is not a homogeneous layer, there is a general deepening of the upper edge to the northeast from 40-60 km (Transcarpathian depression) to 90-100 km (Krosno cover). Sharp deepening along the Porkulets and Dukla covers is revealed. Information about the existence of a deep conductor and its parameters should be the basis for quantitative interpretation and construction of the 3D deep geoelectrical model.

Geoelectrical structure and monitoring in fault zones of Uimon depression in Gorny Altai region using electromagnetic methods

In this paper we present the results of our studies of sections of the Uimon basin in Gorny Altai (Russia) using a complex of electrical prospecting methods. The areas of Baratal Formation at the surface have been investigated. This areas explored in order to understand the stages of formation of the depression. In addition, the possibilities of the electrotomography method for regular observations in seismoactive regions are shown. Comparison of the amplitudes of the resistivity variations based on repeated ERT measurements in different zones of the Terekta fault indicates the activity of its eastern part, which is expressed in significant resistivity variations exceeding 100%. At the same time, the variations in the northwestern part of the fault, reaching 15% on average, are many times smaller.

GEOELECTRICAL STRUCTURE OF BAIKAL RIFT MUYSKAYA BASIN BASED ON ARCHIVAL GEOELECTRICAL DATA INTERPRETATION

The article presents the results of reinterpretation of the archive data of the vertical electric soundings on the Muyskaya depression of the Baikal Rift. Two-dimensional mathematical modeling was performed to verify the obtained data.
