Academic Collaborators:
David Snyder - Metal Earth Consultant, Geological Survey of Canada
Gerhard Pratt - Western Uinversity, Canada
Scope of Project:
Processing and interpretation of Metal Earth seismic wave reflection (R1 and R2) data by integrating other geophysical and geological data from the Metal Earth project, as well as previously acquired geophysical data from regional scale projects conducted in the Superior province including Lithoprobe (1990) and Discover Abitibi (2005).
Anticipated Outcomes:
The project aims to generate a 3D model of crust for the Superior province using all available seismic data (Metal Earth, Lithoprobe, Discover Abitibi). Additionally, this 3D model will utilize other geophysical models such as electrical resistivity, density, susceptibility, and P-wave and S (seismic) wave velocities from global seismology studies. High resolution seismic data processing methods will be applied to Metal Earth data to enhance the near-surface image in order to make a better connection between surface geology and subsurface images.
