An Asthenospheric Upwelling Beneath Central Mongolia
Implications for Intraplate Surface Uplift and Volcanism
Intraplate processes, such as continental surface uplift and intraplate volcanism, are enigmatic and the underlying mechanisms responsible are not fully understood. Central Mongolia is an ideal natural laboratory for studying such processes because of its loca
...
The Hangai is an intra-continental mountain range in central Mongolia with unknown orogenesis. Previous seismic and gravitational studies revealed a low velocity/low density anomaly, but the understanding of the uplift process remains vague. Instead, detailed 2-D and 3-D conducti

Intra-continental uplift and volcanism in the Hangai and Gobi-Altai Mountains in Mongolia
Insights from a multiscale magnetotelluric 3-D inversion
Central Mongolia is a prominent region of intra-plate volcanism and deformation. To study these processes, many of which are poorly understood, magnetotelluric data was collected in the Hangai and Gobi-Altai region in central Mongolia. The geologic history of this region exhibits
