Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data from the Sevier fault near Red Knoll, Kane County, Utah - Station Data (ver 2.0, July 2022)

Description

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data were collected over the Sevier fault near Red Knoll in Kane County Utah, to better understand the hydrogeology of the area. CSAMT data provide vertical cross-section (profile) data about the resistivity of the subsurface, which may be related to lithologic boundaries and (or) grain-size distribution in the subsurface. CSAMT involves transmitting a current at various frequencies in one location, and measuring resistivity differences between electrodes spaced along a receiver line several kilometers from the transmitter. Data were collected using a GGT-30 transmitter and GDP32-II receiver (Zonge international. Inc.). Data processing and inversions were carried out using Zonge International, Inc. software. Sevier_fault_CSAMT_StationData.zip: Text files with the receiver locations for each line. Data were collected using a handheld GPS. The zip file contains one text file per line.
