Probing electrical conductivity of the Trans‐European Suture Zone

Abstract

The Trans‐European Suture Zone (TESZ) is the largest tectonic boundary in Europe, crossing northwest‐southeast through central Europe from the North Sea to the Black Sea. More than 2000 kilometers long, it constitutes a complex transition between the thick and cold East European Craton (EEQ/Baltic Shield, created more than 650 million years ago (Ma) during the Precambrian, and the warmer, younger Paleozoic (650 to 250 Ma) central European mobile belts.
