Scientific paper

The results of geoelectrical studies in the Baikal region have been reconsidered. A new geoelectrical model of the Baikal rift zone has been constructed using a simplified statistical approach, with a normal cross-section as the background. The interpretation proved a success due to several long-period reference magnetotelluric soundings. The most trustworthy element of the model is the highly-conducting layer which is supposed to consist of two horizons. The first horizon belongs to the Earth's crust and is likely to be of hydrothermal nature; the second one, which has been found in Trans-Baikal, overlaps the upper mantle and is connected with partial melting of rocks. The asthenosphere of the Baikal region is believed to be of moderate type.
