Main goal of geomorphological research is not only
the
determination of relief forms but mainly the assess
ment
of the genesis of relief as well as its age, if pos
sible.
Mere observation and description of landforms may n
ot
be sufficient to reveal the true reason for the gen
esis of
a form. It is therefore very important to support
pronounced theories with factual information. An
important part of the research is formed by structu
re
measurements and the application of the methods of
morphostructural analysis and geophysical methods.
One of the geophysical methods is Electrical Resist
ivity
Tomography (ERT) consisting in the measurement and
determination of electrical resistivity below the s
urface.
The interpretation of the resulting inverse model e
nables
us to describe the situation beneath the Earth’s su
rface
