Geoelectrical structure of the Gusinoozerskaya basin (Western Transbaikalia) based on archival vertical electrical soundings data interpretation

Abstract

N this article we present the results of the archival VES data, obtained in the 50s of the last century on the territory of the Gusinoozerskaya depression of Western Transbaikalia, which is the reference for the “Transbaikal type” depression system. Interpretation made using a horizontally layered model, also the two-dimensional inversion performed. As a result, quantitative geoelectric characteristics of the Gusinoozerskaya depression deposits were obtained, and faults were identified. The maximum depth up to the reference horizon are in the southern part of the Gusinoozerskaya basin and reach 2300 m, as well as in the Ubukunskaya depression (up to 2200 m).
