As part of the program on geothermal exploration technique evaluation and development, the magnetotelluric method was evaluated in a Basin and Range environment (Beyer et al., 1976). One developement from this effort is an improved two-dimensional magnetotelluric resistivity computer algorithm, called TEM, capable of calculating the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) soundings over an arbitrary two-dimensional body. Using this program a series of magnetotelluric pseudosections was generated over a set of two-dimensional models which in a gross sense typify structure and resistivities of northern Nevada. This catalogue may be used for qualitative evaluation of existing MT data or for planning future surveys.
