Aplication of Geophysical Methods in Investigation

Karstic phenomenon of carbonated geological formations is very developed in some parts of Albania. The results taken from the integrated geophysical methods for the study of karst phenomenon show that the most effective methods are: resistivity surveying with profile arrays, resistivity surveying with array profiles in combination with VES method, SP method, IP(Induced Polarization), gravimetric micro method. These methods have made possible the detection of karstic zones, with fresh water content and the cavities that present risk for private and public building.
