/ Region) 32 Hz app. Resistivity map 8 Hz app. Resistivity 2 Hz app. Resistivity Mapping resistivity (8x8 km) at depth changing frequency using the in-phase electric field recorded at the CSEM stations numbered on the map. 11 d/2 = 140m d/2 = 280m d/2 = 560m Note (here): sea water + hydrothermalism -> very conductive zone -> limit penetration depth
large 2D DC ERT vs section in 3D CSEM inversion Givet site, Belgium (Bretaudeau et al. 2016) 12 Depth (m) Depth (m) Deeper, larger, 3D, less logistics… Standard DC imaging + Large DD DC imaging 3D CSEM inversion
network: why ? … necessary for large, deep MT / CS surveys No problem to use X simultaneous stations (2000 sec * 1000 periods = 1 month) … new possibilities in cross remote filtering.. … coupled seismic / MT approach But a structure is needed - Scientific management board - Planning management - Equipment maintenance - Low cost for academic - Data storage & policy of distribution - Maintenance of permanent remote MT stations & data Note… 1 MT station = 1 RX in Controlled Source 16 Depth (m) Sketch from Resolve initiative (ISTerre)
