In general, my research interest focuses on probing the electrical conductivity distribution of the subsurface based on the "Deep Electromagnetic method". I am currently exploring the nature of the intermediate-temperature geothermal reservoir in a non-volcanic region like Mongolia. The magnetotelluric MT method determines the electrical conductivity distribution of the subsurface of the Earth, one of the commonly used techniques for geothermal exploration. With MT and existing geological maps and geochemical analyses, I am trying to construct a geothermal conceptual model to build a combined heat plant. The previous studies were focused on deploying the MT method and its data processing and modelling. I was a member of the research group which studied the deep structure of central Mongolia based on the MT method.
