Geoelectric Survey of a Roll-over Anticline (Austria)

We present the results of the geoelectric tomography carried out in the quarry of St. Margarethen (Austria). The research target was to identify the middle Miocene sedimentary layers by their electric properties, which outcrop in the quarry. Since these layers have different resistivity, we chose 2D multielectrode geoelectric method for the survey. The results of this survey confirm that the strata belong to a roll-over anticline structure. In connection with this structure, a major listric fault has been located to the east, which had an active role in the basin formation.
