Abstract
Electrical resistivity (electrical conductivity) of water and bottom soil of the Barguzin Bay was studied by radio impedance soundings in VLF/LF bands, and the measurements were analysed. The georadar sounding method was used to investigate dielectric permittivity of freshwater ice (dielectric constant is ε=3.4). We developed the technique of radio impedance sounding from the ice surface of Lake Baikal for measuring the electrical resistance of bottom soil in the water area, and applied this technique to a layered model of a medium with a base showing poor/good conductivity. Geoelectric models were constructed for the Barguzin Bay coast and the southern Lake Baikal. The geoelectrical section (GES) of the water area can be useful for earthquake forecasting from electromagnetic data, as well as for analysing the physical and chemical causes of the occurrence of ring structures on the ice surface of Lake Baikal.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is facilitating awareness of the international scientific community of new data on geodynamics of continental lithosphere in a wide range of geolchronological data, as well as tectonophysics as an integral part of geodynamics, in which physico-mathematical and structural-geological concepts are applied to deal with topical problems of the evolution of structures and processes taking place simultaneously in the lithosphere. Complex geological and geophysical studies of the Earth tectonosphere have been significantly enhanced in the current decade across the world. As a result, a large number of publications are developed based on thorough analyses of paleo- and modern geodynamic processes with reference to results of properly substantiated physical experiments, field data and tectonophysical calculations. Comprehensive research of that type, followed by consolidation and generalization of research results and conclusions, conforms to the start-of-the-art of the Earth’s sciences.
