A new software-measuring complex has been developed for recording non-stationary electromagnetic soundings based on mobile modules created on the basis of 24-bit ADCs, with built-in GPS receivers, with recorders located directly at the field sensors, arithmetic sampling step and recording of all signal realizations. The deep structure of the Uimon depression in Gorny Altai has been studied based on the time-domain electromagnetic sounding. Research is relevant due to the high seismic hazard of the area, and is also in demand for prospecting and exploration of predicted minerals here. To construct geoelectric models, data from several years of measurements were used, during which more than 60 soundings were performed. At this stage, the interpretation was performed using computer systems within the framework of a horizontally layered model. The interpretation results are presented in the form of sections and threedimensional visualizations, which clearly reflect the structure of the depression. Further, three-dimensional modeling and additional measurements are planned to verify and refine the results obtained.

The paper presents the results of three-dimensional modeling of the fault structure in the central part of the Chuya depression in Gornyi Altai within the Mukhor-Tarkhata plot. On this site, from 2004 to the present, researchers of the IPGG SB RAS have been conducting regular annual observations by the method of nearfield time-domain electromagnetic sounding (TSB) to observe the process of restoration of the geological environment after the catastrophic Chuya earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 in 2003. One of the aftereffects of the destructive earthquake is fracture zones expressed on the surface. Numerous deformations of the surface and industrial objects are observed in the area of the Mukhor-Tarkhata village. The fault zone with sub-vertical fracturing, identified at the site by geological and electromagnetic data, was activated after the earthquake. Detailed data on the geoelectric structure are required for the interpretation and analysis of monitoring data. Based on the interpretation of the near-field time-domain electromagnetic sounding data, the deep structure of the fault zone was obtained. To verify and clarify structural features of the geoelectric model, three-dimensional modeling was performed.

Electromagnetic sounding of the Arctic region is hampered by the influence of the conductive layer of seawater. As part of the RSF project, it is proposed to use a circular electrical dipole (CED) to excite the field. Installation should be placed on drifting ice. This technique requires three-dimensional modeling for which there are complex algorithms. The paper proposes an approach using the Born approximation to simplify the implementation of three-dimensional modeling of the electromagnetic sounding signal using CED.

The detection capability of various anomalous phenomena preceding volcanic eruptions has considerably progressed as the geophysical monitoring networks have become denser and multi-disciplinary. However, current eruption forecasting techniques, from a practical perspective, still have much scope for improvement because they largely depend on empirical techniques. In the past decade, three-dimensional modeling based on the electromagnetic sounding methods such as magnetotellurics (MT) have become a practical choice, and its recent applications to active volcanic fields has revealed certain common features among volcanoes. Information about the resistivity structure, especially in ‘wet’ volcanic fields, is useful for the provisional screening of the eruption potential from the viewpoint of the subsurface structure, and, thus, may contribute to the evaluation of eruption imminence in a broad sense. In this study, for evaluation purposes, we present the roles and possible further applications of the subsurface resistivity structure studies by demonstrating the preliminary results and interpretations of an MT survey that we performed in the Kuttara Volcanic Group, northern Japan.
