oa Magnetotelluric Characterization of the Research Laboratory on Geological Storage of CO2 in Hontomín Burgos, Spain

A Magnetotelluric characterization of the Research Laboratory on Geological Storage of CO2 in Hontomín (Burgos, Spain) is presented here. The survey was carried out in two stages: a two dimensional (2-D) acquisition took place in spring 2010 and a three dimensional (3-D) acquisition, in autumn 2010. In total, 109 broadband magnetotelluric (BBMT) soundings have been acquired in the study area. The 2-D acquisition helped to design the 3-D survey as well as provided the first geoelectric image of the study area. The preliminary 3-D resistivity model provides the geoelectric baseline model of the Research Laboratory (3x4 km2).
