Abstract

A geophysical survey was conducted at Tybaki, Crete, Greece in order to support the geological and hydrogeological studies of the existing phenomenon of seawater intrusion. This survey employed seismic refraction, transient electromagnetic (TEM) and geoelectrical methods. The later, consisted of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). The objective of this survey was to image the saltwater intrusion at this area and map possible favorable sea water pathways. We present the combined interpretation of vintage geophysical data obtained under the research project MEDIS and the ClearWater project data. At Tybaki, the geophysical survey provided images of the saltwater intrusion which is present at the north west of the basin.
