A review on the magnetotelluric studies over the Central Asian Orogenic Belt—recent developments and future aspects by Yifan Li, Letian Zhang, Letian Zhang, Letian Zhang, Sheng Jin, Sheng Jin, Lishui Zhou, Qiyao Zong

“…In this paper, we summarize recent developments in the MT studies of the CAOB, including 2 MT studies that we recently conducted for the Beishan and Bainaimiao segments of the CAOB, which briefly describe the complex electrical structure of the crust and upper mantle, and provide valuable information for understanding its deep processes and continental dynamic mechanisms. Finally, we summarize the general characteristics of the lithospheric electrical structure and formation mechanism of low-resistivity zones, based on which we look forward to future MT studies.…”
