    The crust north of the Himalayas in southern Tibet is electrically conductive below depths of 10 to 20 km according to magnetotelluric surveying. This conductive zone approaches the surface beneath the Kangmar dome dipping northward and extends under the Zangbo suture. A profile crossing the northern Yadong-Gulu rift shows the high conductivity extends outside the rift and its top within the rift coincides with a bright spot horizon imaged on seismic profiles, suggesting a regionally interconnected fluid phase exists in the middle crust of southern Tibet.

    Publication 66 Electrically conductive crust in southern Tibet from INDEPTH magnetotelluric surveying

    Chen, L., J.R. Booker, A.G. Jones, N. Wu, M. Unsworth, W. Wei and H. Tan Abstract
    The crust north of the Himalaya is generally electrically conductive below depths of 10 to 20 km. This conductive zone approaches the surface beneath the Kangmar dome (dipping north), and extends beneath the Zangbo suture. A profile crossing the northern YadongGulu rift shows that the high conductivity extends outside the rift, and its top within the rift coincides with a bright spot horizon imaged on the INDEPTH CMP profiles. The high conductivity of the middle crust is atypical of stable continental regions and suggests that there is a regionally interconnected fluid phase in the crust of the region.
