Description:

Abstract:

Magnetotelluric soundings give data that can help define the l electricamagnetic properties of rocks, and with other geophysical data help define the structure of the shallow crust where earthquakes occur. The sounding points in this cover show where data was collected that was then modelled for deep structure (see reference).

Purpose:

The data was generated to help in understanding the seismotectonic hazards in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley. This data complements similar data collected in the vicinity of New Madrid, MO US Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-0574, available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0574/
