Abstract

A geoelectric model of the Chuya basin has been constructed on the basis of an extensive collection of TEM data obtained in the 1970-80s. The experimental data were interpreted by solving inverse problems using the ERA and SONET computer systems. The modeling imaged the deep structure of the basin and provided a more exact idea of the thickness of its Cenozoic fill. Moreover, it revealed main features of the regional seismicity pattern.
