From 23 September to 07 October 2020, in continuation of monitoring observations carried out since 2012 on the territory of the Bishkek geodynamic test site, along the "East" and "Centr" profiles of the Kentor using the Phoenix MTU-5 measuring complexes, by the MTS group consisting of three teams, MT-soundings were performed at 30 points of the Centr (C1-C4, C6-C11) and «East» (E1-E11, E13-E21) profiles.

The beginning of the work was preceded by the calibration of the recorders and sensors of the MT stations. At all observation points, a control record of at least 40 minutes was preceded to assess the level of interference and adjust the parameters of recording the working record. The electric components of the MT-field were measured using measuring devices with electric dipoles 50 m long. Magnetic field components were measured with using of MTC-50 induction sensors. The dipoles were earthed by nonpolarizable electrodes by the “electrode to electrode” principle with previous observations at all sounding sites. The orientations of the measurement setups completely repeated the previous deployments. The duration of the MT-field registration at each observation point was 15-16 hours.

In the period from 23 September to 02 October 2020, the brigade № 3 of the MTS group carried out work on magnetotelluric sounding (MTS) on the "Boom" profile, located in the area of ​​the Zholbulak village, Kemin district. The number of observation points was 9 (FT1 - FT9). The work was carried out with a Phoenix MTU-5 station in the regular registration mode. The beginning of the work was preceded by the calibration of the recorder and sensors of the MT station. Duration of registration of the MT-field at each registration point is more than 14 hours. Upon completion of work on this profile, the team from 02 October to 07 October 2020, together with two teams of the group, continued to perform work on the "East" profile of the Kentor.

Geodynamic processes occurring in active regions of the planet are manifested in various geophysical fields. The task of monitoring the processes of cracking is urgent, and the successful separation of the magnetotelluric field into endogenous and exogenous components allows us to detect the moment of activation of cracking. The solution of the problem of locating the activated volume is possible with the help of a three-component gradient installation for recording the seismoacoustic field near the day surface.

A multichannel (21 channels) system has been developed to record seismic-acoustic signals from a three-component gradient setup, which provides continuous synchronous recording of seismic signals with a duration of up to three days.

A portable PC is used as a recorder and information storage device. The connection between the PC and the ADC unit is made with a UTP-5 network cable (length 50 m). Data transmission is carried out via the Ethernet protocol. The unit is powered by 3 batteries. The maximum current consumption on each of the supplying batteries is 0.5 A.

In August 2021, together with the field team of the LDMS (Laboratory of Deep Magnetotelluric Studies), field tests of the developed seismic recording unit were carried out. To check the operation of the installation and record seismoacoustic signals, point Ukok-2 was chosen, located near the Ukok gorge of the Naryn region. The sensors were buried in the ground and additionally rammed for better mechanical contact.

For registration and preprocessing of signals obtained with the help of a gradient seismic recording installation, a laptop and special software, also developed at the LAHD, were used.

Viewing and preliminary processing of experimental data in the field is carried out by the ExpDataProc_x64.exe program.

During the period from August 26 to September 7, 2021, when the installation was in operation, a large amount of data was obtained, which will be used for further research.

In accordance with the research plan (topic code FMNN-2019-0004, state registration number AAAA-A19-119020190065-6), LAHD continued work on the creation of a modern hardware and software measuring complex for conducting electromagnetic sounding of the earth's crust using the TEM method using pseudonoise sounding signals.

In September this year, LAHD employees carried out a series of field experiments with a manufactured experimental sample of the measuring complex. The main tasks solved in the process of experimental work are further development of the technology for conducting field measurements, improvement and debugging of algorithms and software for data processing. The goal is to obtain high-quality curves of the field formation in a wide dynamic (≥ 150 dB) and frequency (0.2 ÷ 40,000 Hz) ranges of recorded signals. Field experiments were carried out at the near test point "Polygon, MGD".

Practice of AUCA students at RS RAS

On September 10, 2020, the fourth year students of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Informatics of the American University of Central Asia were sent to the Scientific Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences for practical training. Due to turbulent epidemiological situation, students, unfortunately, could not visit Research Station RAS themselves and get acquainted with the activities of the organization on the spot. Therefore, the first meeting and acquaintance with RS RAS staff happened online.

The Director of RS RAS, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, welcomed students. Anatoly Rybin briefly acquainted students with research being carried out at RS RAS.

After that, the students were assigned to the laboratories of the Scientific Station, where they will practice for the next two months (Laboratory of Deep Magnetotelluric Research - Head of Practice Olga Zabinyakova; Laboratory for Integrated Studies of Geodynamic Processes in Geophysical Fields - Head of Practice Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sanzhar Imashev; Laboratory for Study of Modern Movements of the Earth's Crust by Methods of Space Geodesy - Head of Practice is Ph.D. Artur Mansurov)

Have a good practice!
