Vladimir Arkadyevich Tarasov

Born in 1971 in Leningrad. In 1993, he graduated with honours from Saint Petersburg State University with a degree in geology and geophysics.

Areas of professional and scientific activity: applied geophysics (transient process method - TPM, induced polarization method - IP, electrical tomography using IP and resistance methods, magnetic prospecting) in the search for solid minerals, hydrogeological surveys, environmental studies and archaeology, and research into the electrical properties of rocks.

He has participated in numerous geological exploration projects for various types of minerals in Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Rwanda and Tanzania.

Author and co-author of more than 20 publications in scientific journals, regular participant in geological and geophysical conferences and seminars.

Field formation sounding and electrical tomography in deep geological mapping in the Shu-Sarysu basin

The report is devoted to the application of electrical prospecting methods — field formation sounding (FFS) and electrical tomography — in deep geological mapping within the Shu-Sarysu sedimentary basin. Adaptation of field work methods and data interpretation to the specific geological and geophysical conditions of the region. The results of field work are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach for solving problems of deep geological mapping and refining the structural and tectonic structure of the Shu-Sarysu basin.
