“…The only new geophysical data collected specifically for the RM-SM modeling effort were obtained from an MT survey conducted by the USGS (Asch et al, 2006). The USGS also analyzed existing gravity data using the inversion method to produce a depth-to-basement map of the pre-Tertiary surface (Hildenbrand et al, 2006).…”

“…A natural-source MT survey was conducted in the vicinity of the RM-SM model area in 2005 as part of Phase I data collection activities (Asch et al, 2006). The survey was conducted to better characterize pre-Tertiary stratigraphy and structure within the CAU.…”
