Abstract
A magnetotelluric survey has been conducted in Cappadocia
region of central Turkey in order to find new geothermal resources. The survey
area has formerly been postulated as the location of a buried caldera that was
one of the main eruptive centres of Cappadocia volcanic province.
Three-dimensional non-linear conjugate gradient inversion of magnetotelluric
data by using the full impedance tensor helps to delineate the subsurface resistivity
distribution. The derived resistivity model reveals the possibility of a buried
caldera. The low resistivity anomalies are interpreted as the clay alteration
zones caused by hydrothermal activities.A magnetotelluric survey has been conducted in Cappadocia
