  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the architecture of the {W}est {A}frican craton at depth is essential to be able to reconstruct its evolution. {O}ur study focuses on the crustal imaging of structures and geometries characterizing the crust of the {L}eo-{M}an shield with broadband and long period magnetotelluric data collected in southern {B}urkina {F}aso and covering a 220 km long profile. {T}he resulting 3{D} resistivity crustal model highlights the distribution of the granite-greenstone assemblages with depth showing excellent correlation with mapped surficial lithologies. {T}he whole crust of southern {B}urkina {F}aso is resistive, with lateral as opposed to vertical major resistivity contrasts, reflecting the location of major-scale shear zones characterizing this part of the {B}aoule-{M}ossi domain. {G}round gravity data acquired along the same line as the {MT} data were also modeled and show relatively good correspondence with the resistivity model. {T}he new resistivity and gravity models compared with results from joint inversion of gravity and aeromagnetic data highlight significant changes between the greenstone belts and granitoid domains along the profile. {T}he comparison of the geophysics with the geology enables us to define new depth constraints of the main tectonic features in the area. {T}he observed large scale dipping shear zones favour the model of crustal building through major parallel thrust faults.},
