Project number: T 037694, term: 2002-2005
New electromagnetic imaging method will be elaborated to investigate
subsurface, first of all deep geological structures, based on the basic
properties of the subsurface electromagnetic field expressed in the
magnetotelluric impedance tensor, and on corresponding field tests.
The possible connection between neotectonics and deep structures are
investigated by electromagnetic methods.
In the Carpatho-Pannonian basin a uniform processing, interpretation of
magnetotelluric data (both of the existing ones and those that are to be
measured along geophysical geotraverses between 2002-2005) will be done,
providing a tool to reduce unambiguity in interpretation of other
geophysical anomalies. The project is carried out by scientists at the
Geodetic and Geophysical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences, Sopron and Eötvös Loránd Geophysical Institute, Budapest.
