From Basin to Block: Integrated Magnetotelluric and Electrical Resistivity Imaging of Active Structures Beneath Mexico City

The Mexico City conurbation, hosting more than 20 million inhabitants, is exposed to significant geological hazards due to its location within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and the ongoing subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate. In addition to regional volcanic and tectonic activity, intense groundwater extraction has induced land subsidence and surface fracturing, exacerbating seismic risk and damage to critical urban infrastructure. Recent shallow microseismic events (
