Results of geophysical research on the Zmiyinyy island

The article presents the results of geophysical observations by Dnepropetrovsk expedition «Dneprogeofizika» on Zmiyinyy Island, which performed a full cycle work from prospecting and surveying studies to providing island with drinking water.
 In structural tectonic conditions, is considered as insular block Danubian horst megablock. geodynamics region determined position inclination collision sutures within zone interaction between Eurasian African lithospheric plates. Comprehensive geological included magnetic prospecting, gravity electric sounding (Dipole-axial induced polarization DAS-IP) routes along all rock outcrops island. Detailed integrated were: gravimetric over network 20×10 m, magnetometric — 10×5 m electrometric (DAS-IP) 40×5 m. For first time island, stations were set up, will later become support for surveys. According field survey DAZ-OP electrical exploration observations, an anomalous area was identified, perspective archaeological research. Based comprehensive interpretation materials, well drilled depth 120 confirmed constructed predictive stratigraphic section about. Zmiyinyy. search sources water, three wells drilled, fresh water flow rate up 10 m3 per day (each). Subsequently, minor purification used water.
