Eastern Turkey Magnetotelluric Experiment (ETME)

A Canadian – Turkish Joint Research Project

Brief description: To understand the geological structure of the Eastern Anatolia, and study the early stages of continent-continent collisions, a major magnetotelluric (MT) project was carried out in 2005. Long period and wide band MT data were collected at about 130 sites on profiles extended from the Arabian plate to the Black Sea.
