| Abstract | The last three years the head on resistivity profiling method has been tested in geothermal prospecting in Iceland. It has proved extremely useful in detecting and locating subvertical aquifers in low temperature geothermal areas where other methods have failed. The method is a combination of the "half Schlumberger method" and ordinary profiling with Schlumberger arrangement. The principle of the method and interpretation is discussed, and field examples are shown from areas where the model obtained has been confirmed by drilling. |
