Session 3.2 GNGTS 2024 interruptons and an overall chaotc texture. The integrated peculiar and clear geophysical response of brines pockets can be exploited to efectvely determine the presence of brines pockets and their approximated depth, thus resultng in a helpful strategy to map even large areas in which drill possible future boreholes for brines sampling.
