报告简介：Electromagnetic (EM) method is one of geophysical methods to explore the Earth's interior. It provides how electrical conductivity distributes within the Earth, which helps understanding the Earth structure and internal dynamics. For instance, the lithosphere-asthenosphere system (LAS) of the oceanic mantle, which is one of the main topics of this talk, consists of two distinct layers of different mechanical property. To know the shape of the boundary, the contrast between two layers, lateral variations of the property, etc. is essential to understand how the system works. However, no geophysical method can image the mantle in terms of mechanical property such as viscosity with a meaningful resolution and therefore we apply other geophysical methods such as seismic and EM for imaging. Magnetotelluric (MT) method, one of EM exploration methods, was born in early 1950s and the importance of its application to deep seafloor was recognized at the very beginning (Cagniard, 1953). However, its practice needed some efforts to overcome technological difficulties, which will be summarized as a part of introduction to this talk. Then recent results of the Normal Oceanic Mantle (NOMan) project are also shown on two science topics: Studies on the LAS and its beyond, both based on seafloor EM measurements.
