“…It is a non-invasive method that provides information about the velocity and depth of rock and soil layers, which can to detect variations in the ionic concentration of fluids in rock pores (Revil and Jardani 2013). This method is successfully used for the investigation of groundwater (Stevanovic and Dragisic 1998;Wanfang et al 1999;Robert et al 2011;Artugyan et al 2015;Voytek et al 2019), karst voids and sinkholes (dolines) (Lange 1999;Jardani et al 2007;Cardarelli et al 2013;Sarıbudak and Hawkins 2019).…”

To date, in Türkiye only a limited number and volume of combined geophysical and geological studies about karst have been performed. In this study, karstification and geomorphological features were examined with geophysical and geological methods together and initial results were obtained for Türkiye. Although the geology of the limestone forming the Şahinkaya Member, which contains Çayırbağı, Çalköy, and Çal Cave, near the Düzköy district of Trabzon/Türkiye province was studied by many researchers to date, there is no geophysical study to determine the internal structural features, groundwater, dolines, and karstic voids. The aim of this study was to identify karst formations and their structural extensions in Şahinkaya Member with geophysical methods. Therefore, three different study locations with a total surface area of approximately 3.2 km2 were examined with electrical resistivity tomography, self-potential, seismic refraction tomography, multichannel analysis of surface waves, and ground penetrating radar. These geophysical applications in limestone helped to identify karst cavities, water-saturated zones and dolines. Finally, the order of priority and efficiency of the five applied geophysical methods was compared, and the stages of the applications were outlined. In addition, the origin of karstification in the area investigated in this study was supported by petrographic, petrophysical and rock mechanic data.
