Abstract

This paper presents the application of self-potential (SP) method in environmental application. The resulted SP model was compared with the resulted tomographic electrical resistivity models which acquired at the same time period with SP data. Both geophysical methods applied in Western Crete in Chania territory to delineate contaminants movements from a waste disposal site to the main river of Chania basin through the alluvial permeable formation. The main purpose of the SP method was the determination of the subsurface contaminants flow direction. The final resulted images showed a good correlation with geoelectrical resistivity model. The self-potential method has proved to be an important qualitative monitoring tool for assessing the environmental quality in contaminated lands.
