This study presents the developments regarding the time-domain induced polarisation method as a supporting tool for resistivity soundings during investigations of coastal detrital aquifers that are salinized by marine intrusion. The interpretation of resistivity measurements in such aquifers, which have variable hydrochemistry and lithology, involves uncertainties owing to the presence of low-resistivity lithologies, such as clays. To reduce these uncertainties, the use of other geophysical parameters is necessary; hence, this study focuses on induced polarisation since it can be measured simultaneously with resistivity. In detail, we propose the determination of induced polarisation using 1D techniques while developing a different algorithm for processing the induced polarisation data. The aim is to extend the results of this phenomenon, using, instead of chargeability, the concepts of polarisability and decay time, which are extracted from the decay curve, given that they represent more intrinsic properties of the various analyzed subsurface media. Results were obtained by applying this methodology to a Quaternary aquifer of the Costa del Sol in the SE Iberian Peninsula (in the province of Almería) during two different campaigns, one in mid-autumn and one late winter (i.e., in October and February, respectively) are presented. The results reveal the position of the saline front during each campaign while reflecting the seasonal movement of the marine intrusion.
