The widely distributed geothermal resources in this region could be considered as potential alternative sources of power and heat. However, most of the known geothermal fields in Southwestern Tibet are poorly prospected and currently almost no geothermal energy is exploited. Here we present a case study mapping the Mapamyum (QP) geothermal field of Southwestern Tibet using audio magnetotellurics (AMT) and magnetotellurics (MT) methods.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Benjamin S. Murphy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presented on May 28, 2019. Title: Magnetotelluric Constraints on Lithospheric Properties in the Southeastern United States Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________ Gary D. Egbert By inverting EarthScope long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data from the southeastern United States (SEUS), we obtain electrical conductivity images that provides key insights into the geodynamics of this region. Significantly, we resolve a highly electrically resistive block that extends to mantle depths beneath the modern Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces. As high resistivity values in mantle minerals require cold mantle temperatures, the MT data indicate that the sub- Piedmont thermal lithosphere must extend to greater than 200 km depth. This firm bound appears to conflict with conclusions from seismic results; tomography shows that velocities in this region are generally slightly slow with respect to references models. This observation has led to a seismically-informed view of relatively thin (<150 km), eroded thermal lithosphere beneath the SEUS. However, resolution tests demonstrate that our MT constraints are robust. Furthermore, narrow-band biases in MT transfer functions from the SEUS due to geomagnetic pulsations associated with field-line resonances support the presence of bulk resistive lithosphere in this region. We show that, by considering anelastic prediction of seismic observables, MT and seismic (tomography, attenuation, receiver function) results are in fact consistent with thick (~200 km), coherent thermal lithosphere in this region. Our results demonstrate the danger of interpreting seismic results purely in terms of reference models and the importance of integrating different geophysical techniques when formulating geodynamic interpretations.

Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Adelaide for an Honours Degree in Geophysics. Millicent Crowe October 2012 MT & AEM AS COMBINED EXPLORATION METHOD 1 MAGNETOTELLURICS AND AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETICS AS A COMBINED METHOD FOR ASSESSING BASIN STRUCTURE AND GEOMETRY. MT & AEM AS A COMBINED EXPLORATION METHOD ABSTRACT Unconformity-type uranium deposits are characterised by high-grade and constitute over a third of the world’s uranium resources. The Cariewerloo Basin, South Australia, is a region of high prospectivity for unconformity-related uranium as it contains many similarities to an Athabasca-style unconformity deposit. These include features such as Mesoproterozoic red-bed sediments, Paleoproterozoic reduced crystalline basement enriched in uranium (~15-20 ppm) and reactivated basement faults. An airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was flown in 2010 using the Fugro TEMPEST system to delineate the unconformity surface at the base of the Pandurra Formation. However highly conductive regolith attenuated the signal in the northern and eastern regions, requiring application of deeper geophysical methods. In 2012 a magnetotelluric (MT) survey was conducted along a 110 km transect of the north-south trending AEM line. The MT data was collected at 29 stations and successfully imaged the depth to basement, furthermore providing evidence for deeper fluid pathways. The AEM data were integrated into the regularisation mesh as a-priori information generating an AEM constrained resistivty model and also correcting for static shift. The AEM constrained resistivity model best resolved resistive structures, allowing strong contrast with conductive zones.

Hosteaux, E. Chané, and S. Poedts Centre for mathematical Plasma-Astrophysics (CmPA), Celestijnenlaan 200B, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium e-mail: [email protected] Received 15 May 2019 / Accepted 11 September 2019 ABSTRACT Context. The evolution of magnetised coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their interaction with the background solar wind leading to deflection, deformation, and erosion is still largely unclear as there is very little observational data available. Even so, this evolution is very important for the geo-effectiveness of CMEs. Aims. We investigate the evolution of both normal and inverse CMEs ejected at different initial velocities, and observe the effect of the background wind density and their magnetic polarity on their evolution up to 1 AU. Methods. We performed 2.5D (axisymmetric) simulations by solving the magnetohydrodynamic equations on a radially stretched grid, employing a block-based adaptive mesh refinement scheme based on a density threshold to achieve high resolution following the evolution of the magnetic clouds and the leading bow shocks. All the simulations discussed in the present paper were performed using the same initial grid and numerical methods. Results. The polarity of the internal magnetic field of the CME has a substantial effect on its propagation velocity and on its defor- mation and erosion during its evolution towards Earth. We quantified the effects of the polarity of the internal magnetic field of the CMEs and of the density of the background solar wind on the arrival times of the shock front and the magnetic cloud.

A set of signatures in plasma and magnetic field is used to identify the ICMEs. Magnetic Cloud (MC) is a special kind of ICMEs in which internal magnetic field configuration is similar like flux rope. We have used the data obtained from ACE Advance Composition Explorer (ACE) based in-situ measurements of Magnetic Field Experiment (MAG) and Solar Wind Electron, Proton and Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) experiment for the data of magnetic field and plasma parameters respectively. The magnetic field data and plasma parameters of ICMEs used to distinguish them as magnetic cloud, non magnetic cloud. We analyzed eighteen ICMEs observed during January 2005 to December 2005, which is the beginning of declining phase of solar cycle 23. The analysis of magnetic field in the frames of the flux ropes like structure using a Minimum Variance Analysis (MVA) method, and have identified 30% ICMEs in the year 2005, which shows magnetic field rotation in a plane and confirmed as ICMEs with MCs.

Koppers3 Extension of the Azores Plateau along the Terceira Rift exposes a lava sequence on the steep northern fank of the Hirondelle Basin. Unlike typical tholeiitic basalts of oceanic plateaus, the 1.2 km vertical submarine stratigraphic profle reveals two successive compositionally distinct basanitic to alkali basaltic eruptive units. The lower unit is volumetrically more extensive with ~ 1060 m of the crustal profle forming between ~ 2.02 and ~ 1.66 Ma, followed by a second unit erupting the uppermost ~ 30 m of lavas in ~ 100 kyrs. The age of ~ 1.56 Ma of the youngest in-situ sample at the top of the profle implies that the 35 km-wide Hirondelle Basin opened after this time along normal faults. This rifting phase was followed by alkaline volcanism at D. João de Castro seamount in the basin center indicating episodic volcanic activity along the Terceira Rift. The mantle source compositions of the two lava units change towards less radiogenic Nd, Hf, and Pb isotope ratios. A change to less SiO2-undersaturated magmas may indicate increasing degrees of partial melting beneath D. João de Castro seamount, possibly caused by lithospheric thinning within the past 1.5 million years. Our results suggest that rifting of oceanic lithosphere alternates between magmatically and tectonically dominated phases. Oceanic plateaus with a crustal thickness to 30 km cover large areas in the oceans and these bathymetric swells afect oceanic currents and marine life 1,2.
