Abstract

This study aims to define the geotectonic characteristics of the Mygdonia basin by using 3D Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) technology. The Mygdonian basin is located between Volvi and Langada lakes around 45 km North-East of Thessaloniki city in northern Greece and presents very high seismicity. To define the tectonic regime of the area, a detailed electromagnetic survey was performed along with the geological and lithological study of the area. The TEM data were acquired using the TEM-FAST 48 instrument for 485 soundings in 159 locations. The 1-D and 2-D interpretation of the TEM data indicate the tectonic characteristics of the area. 3D modeling applied to TEM data highlighted the fracture zone in the investigated area. The geothermal field of Apollonia is also depicted. The results are validated with the previous EM (AMT, RMT, and MT) data acquired in the study area studies.
