The lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) is investigated recently very effectively, mostly using seismic methods because of their deep penetration and relatively good resolution. The nature of LAB is still debated, particularly under “cold” Precambrian shields and platforms. Passive experiment “13 BB star” is dedicated to study deep structure of the Earth’s interior in the marginal zone of the East European craton in northern Poland. The seismic network consists of 13 broadband stations on the area of ca. 120 km in diameter. The network is located in the area of well-known sedimentary cover and crustal structure. Good records obtained till now, and expected during next 1-year long recording campaign, should yield images of detailed structure of the LAB, „410”, “?520”, and „660” km discontinuities, as well as mantle-core boundary and inner core.

Are the crustal and mantle conductive zones isotropic or anisotropic?

One of the significant problems of modern deep magnetotellurics is the recognition of anisotropy in the crustal and mantle conductive zones. In the paper we perform numerical experiment comparing several 2D models of crustal and mantle isotropic and anisotropic prismatic conductors. Anisotropy is modeled by alternat-ing horizontal or vertical thin layers of different resistivities (the vertical layers are parallel to the prism strike). Using these models, we examine conditions under which the magnetotelluric and magnetovariational response functions distinguish between isotropy and anisotropy. The resolution of MT and MV studies depends on the sediments conductance, lithosphere resistance and deep conductor width. Calcu-lations show that the most favorable conditions for anisotropy studies are observed in the active regions characterized by small sediments conductance (10-20 S) and moderate lithosphere resistance (108 Ohmźm2). However, in the stable regions, where sediments conductance exceeds 50-100 S and the lithosphere resistance comes up to 109 Ohmźm2, the crustal and mantle anisotropic and isotropic conduc-tors manifest themselves in the equivalent magnetotelluric and magnetovariational functions, which cannot distinguish between anisotropy and isotropy and admit both the interpretations.
