==Magnetotellurics resolution==

==Magnetotellurics resolution==

The rule-of-thumb for MT resolution for depth of burial vs. layer thickness is 10:1. For example, to “see” a layer at a depth of 1,500 m (5,000 ft), the thickness of the layer needs to be approximately 150 m (500 ft) or more. Low-resistivity layers are more easily delineated than high-resistivity layers. It is difficult for MT to resolve more than three or four subsurface layers.
