Statement

Broadband Magnetotelluric (BMT) data were collected with Phoenix MTU5A systems, owned by Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Long period data (LMT) were recorded using LEMI-417 also owned by Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. The processing for the BMT data after Egbert, G. D. (1997). Robust multiple?station magnetotelluric data processing. Geophysical Journal International, 130(2), 475–496. LMT data were processed with Smirnov, M. Y. (2003). Magnetotelluric data processing with a robust statistical procedure having a high breakdown point. Geophysical Journal International, 152(1), 1–7. The TEM data were collected at 15 sites using a Geonics TEM58 RX owned by the NERC Geophysical Equipment Facility in Edinburgh, UK. Originally it was intended to collect data at all MT site locations, but this was not possible due to the political situation during the field campaign in 2016.
