Deep Electrical Conductivity Anomalies in the Chaun Bay Region Based on Magnetic Variation Sounding Data
Tóm tắt
Abstract—This paper discusses the results of magnetic variation soundings at two sites in the eastern Arctic, in the Chaun Bay region, at the Pevek and Valkarkai weather stations, by using the ModEM program to perform a three–dimensional (3D) inversion of tippers. The inversion has produced a geoelectric model of the region in a subsurface area of 300 × 300 × 200 km. The moduli of tippers at both sites have values between 0.2 and 0.85, reaching the maximum ones in a period of 1000 s. At the Pevek weather station, the real induction arrow in the Parkinson convention is oriented to the west throughout the range of periods. At the second site, its azimuth changes from 30° to the NE to –30° to the NW as the period of variations increases. Throughout the range of depths, conductive inhomogeneities are located to the west and north of the Chaun folded zone. They extend as a narrow strip under the western and northern coastal parts of the zone at depths of 8–12 km. As the depth increases, they are split into blocks, which reach their maximum size in the horizontal plane at depths ranging between 20 and 30 km. The most prominent among them is the conductive block beneath the southern part of the Chaun Bay. The roots of these blocks are distinguishable at depths of up to 100 km. The Chaun folded zone is represented by a high–resistance block down to a depth of 150 km with an electrical resistivity of more than 1000 Ω m. Comparison of the obtained geoelectric model with the geophysical studies previously conducted here reveals a correlation between the location of conductive formations and the location of weakly positive anomalies in the gravity field in the Bouguer and isostatic reductions in the coastal water area.
