EarthScope Seminar

Topic: Magnetotellurics

-­‐ Several minute delay setting up computers -­‐ Discussed Hill 2009 Paper o Figure 1  Discussed source of data for contours  Perhaps previous data (Egbert & Booker)  Seems to be a lot of interpretation for northern part, as main array is in southern part and only one station/measurement is in the northern part  Not much data displayed in area of dense array to southwest  Cut out size and scale do not appear to be exact with regional map. Sloppy? o Figure 2  Same Model – Different shading colors. Confusing  Data shown in W. and S. portions not included in Figure 1 (i.e. no deep blue)  Skew angle represents change just E of Mt. St. Helens, which indicates a potential magma source located between the three volcanoes o Figure 3  Color coding: Red = High conductivity  Figure shows reservoir, but NOT deeper reservoir source  Perhaps longer period source would reveal source. o Figure 4  Reservoir not clear/strong (i.e. not deep red)  Inconsistent with Figure 3? Maybe data sensitivity issue  Red at surface E of Adams. Potential water table? -­‐ Discussed Patro 2008 o Figure 2  Figure summarizes main point of entire paper  Used seismicity study to generate left figure & compared to their data. It agrees.  Discussed Seletzia placement and apparent slab dip placement/angle. o Figure 3  Depth of peak similar for each province  High conductivity at lower crust can potentially mask lower mantle  Does C2 in Patro relate to Hill 2009 findings? It is possible, but wavelengths used in two studies not compatible, Hill data located between 2 Patro stations.

 What is C1? Huge area. Paper says that this may be the result of magmatic underplating from Basin and Range extension. -­‐ Compared the two papers. Patro starts to build image, but not much interpretation. Hill has more interpretation. -­‐ Closed by exploring ideas on short timescale changes in MT results. Could you map a small scale fluid flow with MT?
