“…In the past decade Electrical sounding and Resistivity tomography (VES & ERT) have evolved, potential geophysical technologies to monitor the natural changes in shallow sub-surface resistivity (Binley et al, 2002;Dutta et al, 2006, Arora & Ahmed, 2010Loke et al, 2014;Singha et al, 2014). ERT can be applied to define the water table (Zaidi, 2012), to delineate aquifers (Dutta et al, 2006), to search for karst geological structures (Leuccim, 2005) and find karst water (Metwaly et al, 2012;Vlahović & Munda, 2011;Gan et al, 2013) and also to study the unsaturated zone (Arora, 2013;Carriere et al, 2013).…”

“…Also due to large amount of data, the computed images of the subsurface structures are of higher resolution. The multi-electrode imaging scheme is extensively used in groundwater exploration, environmental and mining applications [19][20][21] . Thus, the use of resistivity imaging technique for groundwater exploration has earned an important place in recent years in spite of some interpretive constraint.…”

“…The electrical resistivity method is also a useful geophysical method in the detection of structures (Suresh et al 1992;Seaton and Burbey 2002;Adepelumi et al 2006). This method is usually paired alongside other geophysical methods to detect buried faults (Sharma and Baranwal 2005;Dutta et al 2006).…”

Northwest Panay consists of two terranes that form part of the Central Philippine collision zone: Buruanga Peninsula and Antique Range. The Buruanga Peninsula consists of a Jurassic chert-clastic-limestone sequence, typical of oceanic plate stratigraphy of the Palawan Micro-continental Block. The Antique Range is characterized by Antique Ophiolite Complex peridotites and Miocene volcanic and clastic rocks, representing obducted oceanic crust that serves as the oceanic leading edge of the collision with the Philippine Mobile Belt. The Nabas Fault is identified as the boundary between the two terranes. This study employed the gravity method to characterize the Northwest Panay subsurface structure. Results indicate higher Bouguer anomaly values for Buruanga Peninsula than those for Antique Range, separated by a sudden decrease in gravity values toward the east-southeast (ESE) direction. Forward gravity data modeling indicates the presence of an underlying basaltic subducted slab in the Buruanga Peninsula. Furthermore, the Nabas Fault is characterized as an east-dipping thrust structure formed by Buruanga Peninsula basement leading edge subduction beneath Antique Range. Additional geophysical constraints were provided by shallow seismic refraction and electrical resistivity surveys. Results from both methods delineated the shallow subsurface signature of the Nabas Fault buried beneath alluvium deposits. The gravity, seismic refraction and electrical resistivity methods were consistent in identifying the Nabas Fault as the terrane boundary between the Buruanga Peninsula and the Antique Range. The three geophysical methods helped constrain the subsurface configuration in Northwest Panay.
