Project conducts seismic reflection profiling in the Ural Mountains

Geophysicists from east and west are flocking to the Uralide orogen of Russia to acquire modern, multichannel deep seismic reflection profiles over targets in the Ural Mountains. Seismic reflection profiling promises to help answer geological and geophysical questions about the structure of the mountain belt at crustal and lithospheric scales, the development and evolution of a crustal root, the drift of the continents involved in the collision...
