- W1997198329 abstract "The European Geotraverse (EGT) is an international, multidisciplinary project focused on a north-south orientated lithospheric profile, 4000 km long and of varying width, extending from northernmost Scandinavia to North Africa. This profile consists of three interlinking Segments (Northern, Central, and Southern) comprising a continuous succession of tectonic provinces ranging from the oldest Precambrian areas of the Baltic Shield to the currently active area of the Western Mediterranean. The broad aim of the EGT Project is to obtain a better three-dimensional picture of the structure, state, and composition of the continental lithosphere to use as a basis for an understanding of its evolution and dynamics. All of the 12 major projects that constitute the EGT “Joint Programme” have now been initiated, and several of these projects are nearing completion. Along the Northern Segment, data from “The Fennoscandian Long-Range Project” (FENNOLORA), a 2000 km long seismic profile across the Precambrian Baltic Shield, show that except beneath southern Sweden, the Shield is characterized by a high-velocity, 40–50 km thick crust—including a 5–10 km thick crust-mantle transition zone. An alternating series of 4–6 high- and low-velocity zones is present in the subcrustal lithosphere, the base of which increases in depth from ca. 110 km to ca. 230 km from south to north beneath the Shield. The top of the mantle transition zone lies at a depth of about 450 km. The second major project along this Segment, the EUGENO-S (European Geotraverse Northern Segment—Southern Part) project, is a multidisciplinary study of the Fennoscandian Border Zone, and was largely completed in 1984 with the realization of a large-scale seismic experiment. Preliminary interpretation of the excellent data obtained indicate the presence of strong lateral variations in internal crustal structure beneath the Danish Basin. Field work for a third major project, a multidisciplinary transect of the Archaean and Early Proterozoic terrains in the northernmost part of the Shield (the “Polar Profile”), was carried out in 1985. A series of deep seismic reflection lines has so far been realized in the area of the Central Segment in the context of German national programmes. First interpretations of the seismic data from a 260 km long profile across the two main intra-Variscan (Hercynian) lineaments have shown the presence of numerous horizons making up a highly reflective zone in the lowermost 10 km of the crustal section studied, and distinct changes in reflectivity between the main Variscan tectonic zones. In 1986, the entire Segment will be investigated in detail in an ambitious international programme of integrated geological and geophysical studies. A series of seismic experiments (termed EGT-S) have been carried out across the Southern Segment (in 1982, 1983, and 1985). Interpretation of data from the 1982 and 1983 experiments have led to several interesting results, including: (1) the suggestion that two “crust-mantle”-like interfaces exist beneath the Po Basin (at depths of about 35 and 50 km) and adjacent tectonic units, these interfaces marking a deep contact zone between the Adriatic and European plates, (2) in the area between Genoa and Corsica, the Ligurian Sea is underlain by a greatly thinned, distinctly layered section of continental crust, and (3) Corsica and Sardinia are underlain by bowl-shaped, “typically” Variscan continental crusts. The 1985 phase of seismic surveys focused on crustal structure beneath Tunisia and the adjacent seas. In addition, two off-traverse projects are being realized. First, a wide-aperture network of autonomously recording seismic stations (“NARS”), installed along the line Gothenburg-Málaga between 1982 and 1984, is already yielding high-quality data on the upper 600–700 km of the mantle. Second, an investigation of lithospheric seismic anisotropy in the area of the Iberian Peninsula is being organized for 1987–1988. Finally, of great importance are the systematic compilation of existing data and, where needed in critical regions, collection of new geophysical and geological data presently being carried out for the entire area encompassed by the EGT. It is expected that these compilations will be completed by 1987, at about the same time that full results from the main large-scale seismic experiments become available, enabling the construction of an integrated lithospheric cross-section along the EGT, requiring a final phase of intensive multidisciplinary collaboration." @default.
