Conclusions: Canadian SCLM
- The actual resistivity of the sub-Moho SCLM can only be determined in two places worldwide due to lack of conducting material in the crustal column. Both are in Canada (southern Slave & Rae). S. Slave has 4,000 W.m, whereas Rae has 30,000 W.m.
- It is in places isotropic, in places anisotropic.
- It is in places resistive, but not as resistive as would be expected for olivine mineralogy.
- It is in places orders of magnitude more conductive that expected.
- Boundary film carbon or graphite may explain above observations - but so can other explanations!
