Abstract

Summary

In this work we present the results of electrical resistivity tomography application inside two karstic caves in Macedonia, North Greece. The primary objective of this survey was the identification of the thickness of sediments accumulated in the caves. The second objective was to try to identify features in the sediments and possible unknown cavities below the floor of the chambers investigated each time. These two findings would serve to better understand the geometry of similar caves and help build realistic 3D models of caves as a possible hydrocarbon reservoir.
