Abstract

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) technique is widely used in mapping subsurface electrical properties. In this study, ERT was used to map a beachrock outcrop, extended both inland, under beach sediments, and seawards, on and under seafloor sediments. Mapping of beachrock is considered important because it can help evaluate the lateral and vertical extend of the formation. Fast and reliable mapping of beachrocks may contribute in several applications like engineering and construction, coastal management, recreational reformation as well as scientific approaches like coastal evolution research, and palaeo-environmental studies. The outcome of the survey was the mapping of the formation with centimeter precision, especially towards the sea. Special processing was applied to the data in order to constrain the inversion procedure to include the known sea water layer.
