Electromagnetic (EM) methods to study the inner structure of mud volcanoes in Perekishkul, Azerbaijan
Projektnummer
0053986
Zusammenfassung
This project aims to assess the inner structure of mud volcanoes by means of low-cost electromagnetic methods that are capable of detecting vertical geotectonic boundaries and fault zones and are able to confine and improve structural models of mud volcanoes in the Perekishkul area in Azerbaijan. A comprehensive view inside the inner structure of the mud volcanoes is envisaged. Mud volcanoes have relevance to climate processes by means of methane out-gassing that is likely to contribute significantly to the global methane budget and therefore impacts the climate dynamics. In addition, ...
