Abstract One-dimensional analysis of a high-quality magnetotelluric survey at Berlin geothermal field, El Salvador, together with advanced data management techniques, has revealed the resistivity structure of a geothermal system. A 500m thick conductive argillitic alteration layer overlies a medium-resistivity anomaly associated with the geothermal reservoir. A deep conductive body, more than 4 km below the surface, is tentatively interpreted as the magma chamber acting as the heat source to the system.
