 Abstract: Deformation in the continental interior, far from tectonic plate boundaries, is not fully understood. Due to its location, Mongolia is a prime natural laboratory for studying effects such as intracontinental deformation and intraplate volcanism. A previous regional magnetotelluric (MT) study, including three (2016-2018) field campaigns, identified a localized asthenospheric upwelling with a correspondingly thin lithosphere underneath the Hangai Dome (Central Mongolia). Compared with Central Mongolia, Eastern Mongolia is less studied with geophysical methods; consequently, its underlying lithospheric and asthenospheric properties are less constrained. At the same time, this region is of economic and scientific interest, as it hosts several mineral zones and relevant geological features, such as the Mongolia-Okhotsk suture zone. Furthermore, it is unknown to what extent the identified electrical conductivity anomalies in Central Mongolia extend to the east and how the crust and mantle differ in this region.This work presents the first results of a new MT field study covering Central-Eastern Mongolia. 64 broadband MT stations were deployed between 2020 and 2022 along five profiles east of the Hangai. The data were processed using a two-step multi-taper processing approach, simultaneously improving the quality at short and long periods, providing credible MT responses up to 2048 seconds. The previously acquired and new data were jointly inverted regarding 3-D conductivity variations. Furthermore, data from an 880 km long 2-D profile extending from the Selenga Basin to Gobi Desert were inverted independently. This study is part of a broader project aiming to constrain the electrical conductivity of entire Mongolia.
