TRANSCRIPT
AlpArray Magnetotelluric
MT Group at the GFZ
12E swath meeting, 18. Juli , 11:00 - 17:00
• Three-dimensional electrical conductivity structure of the entire Alps using MT array data
• High-resolution electrical conductivity images of the Periadriactic Fault system (12E Swath)
Field Setups
Regional Scale
Field Setup:- ~ 160 sites, 40-50 km site spacing- Long period data recording time ~ 1 month.- Instruments National German Instrument Pool (GIPP-MT)

Total Cost: 660k€- Field experiment 150k€- 1 PostDoc (36 PM, TvÖD13) 225k€- 1 PhD (36 PM, TvÖD13, 75%) 169k€- 4 Student helper (36PM) 56k€- Travel 60k€.
Key points:Imaging lower crust uppermost mantle:- Transition from the western to
the eastern Alps.- Active and fossil fault
systems.- Provide boundary values for
further localized MT experiments.
