However, the lack of geological knowledge about the subglacial bedrock has made it challenging to understand this process. Our study aimed to investigate the structural characteristics of the subglacial bedrock in the Mount Brown region, utilizing airborne geophysical data collected from the China Antarctic Scientific Expedition in 2015\u20132017. We reconstructed bedrock density contrast and magnetic susceptibility models by leveraging Tikhonov regularized gravity and magnetic inversions. The deep bedrock in the inland direction exhibited different physical properties, indicating the presence of distinct basement sources. The east\u2013west discontinuity of bedrock changed in the inland areas, suggesting the possibility of large fault structures or amalgamation belts. We also identified several normal faults in the western sedimentary basin, intersected by the southwest section of these survey lines. Furthermore, lithologic separators and sinistral strike-slip faults may exist in the northeast section, demarcating the boundary between Princess Elizabeth Land and Knox Valley. Our study provides new insights into the subglacial geological structure in this region, highlighting the violent impact of the I-A-A-S (Indo-Australo-Antarctic Suture) on the subglacial basement composition. Additionally, by identifying and describing different bedrock types, our study redefines the potential contribution of this region to the paleocontinent splicing process and East Antarctic basement remodeling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15235523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T11:54:48Z","timestamp":1701086088000},"page":"5523","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Crustal Imaging across the Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica from 2D Gravity and Magnetic Inversions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enzhao","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolong","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, University of Houston, Houston, TX 77204, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510301, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5329-9902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khalid","family":"Latif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre of Excellence in Geology, University of Peshawar, Peshawar 25130, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingxue","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.5194\/tc-7-375-2013","article-title":"Bedmap2: Improved ice bed, surface and thickness datasets for Antarctica","volume":"7","author":"Fretwell","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cryosphere"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2020TC006180","DOI":"10.1029\/2020TC006180","article-title":"Pangea rifting shaped the East Antarctic landscape","volume":"39","author":"Maritati","year":"2020","journal-title":"Tectonics"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1409","DOI":"10.1126\/science.252.5011.1409","article-title":"Did the breakout of Laurentia turn Gondwanaland inside-out?","volume":"252","author":"Hoffman","year":"1991","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1016\/S1342-937X(05)70904-7","article-title":"Paleomagnetic evidence for a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Columbia","volume":"5","author":"Meert","year":"2002","journal-title":"Gondwana Res."},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/S1342-937X(05)70883-2","article-title":"Configuration of Columbia, a Mesoproterozoic supercontinent","volume":"5","author":"Rogers","year":"2002","journal-title":"Gondwana Res."},{"key":"ref_6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/j.precamres.2007.04.021","article-title":"Assembly, configuration, and break-up history of Rodinia: A synthesis","volume":"160","author":"Li","year":"2008","journal-title":"Precambrian Res."},{"key":"ref_7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"987","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gr.2011.12.002","article-title":"What\u2019s in a name?
