Geothermal exploration involves geology, geochemistry and geophysics. In geophysical exploration, resistivity surveying plays a most important role in delineating the reservoir. The parameters that control the geothermal system show a strong response to electrical resistivity. The resistivity methods that are mostly used in geothermal exploration in Iceland are TEM (Transient electromagnetics) and MT (Magnetotellurics). The resulting resistivity cross sections and resistivity depth slices, show a shallow lying low resistivity layer and deep lying low resistivity towards the end of the cross sections
