HOLLANDS 2 1 British Geological Survey Keyworth Nottingham NG12 5GG UK 2 North Lanarkshire Council SUMMARY A study of 2D and 3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys of a landfill in a former dolerite quarry situated in the Midland Valley of Scotland is described. The main objective of the ERT surveys was to characterise the landfill geometry in terms of lateral extent and depth. In addition it was anticipated
