| Abstract | Electrical resistivity survey has been the principal geophysical exploration tool applied to Meager Creek geothermal area, 150km north of Vancouver, B.C. Dipole-dipole reconnaissance traverses have been successful in identifying areas of anomalous resistivity in the accessible valley areas around the volcanic complex. Extremely steep topography imposes severe spatial constraints on the layout of long spacing arrays, and impedes anomaly examination and resolution. A multiple pole-pole array addressed by a computer based scanning receiver is being employed to increase effective penetration within the limited operating space to provide a multidirectional database for anisotropy studies. |
