TLDR
There have been major improvements in instrumentation, field survey design and data inversion techniques for the geoelectrical method over the past 25 years as mentioned in this paper, which has made it possible to conduct large 2D, 3D and even 4D surveys efficiently to resolve complex geological structures that were not possible with traditional 1-D surveys.

A computational package to compute electrical resistivity tomography response for regular bodies immersed in a homogeneous half-space.

TL;DR: In this paper , a 3D forward algorithm is presented to model electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements with the capability to use different electrode array configurations with the hypothesis of weak scattering, where the secondary currents generated in the bodies due to the main field are not considered.

Two-dimensional Inversion of DC Resistivity Data on Unstructured Grids Using Fuzzy C-means Clustering Model Constraint

TL;DR: In this paper , a fuzzy C-means clustering model constrained inversion algorithm for two-dimensional DC resistivity was developed based on unstructured model mesh, and the Gauss-Newton optimization method was used to seek solutions of the nonlinear inverse problem.

Assesment on the performance of electrode arrays using image processing technique

TL;DR: In this paper, image processing technique was used in order to perform post inversion processing which make geophysical data interpretation easier, and inverted data sets were imported into the PCI Geomatica 9.0.1 for further processing.

The electrical resistivity log as an aid in determining some reservoir characteristics

TL;DR: The usefulness of the electrical resistivity log in determining reservoir characteristics is governed largely by: (1) the accuracy with which the true resistivity of the formation can be determined; (2) the scope of detailed data concerning the relation of resistivity measurements to formation characteristics; (3) the available information concerning the conductivity of connate or formation waters; and (4) the extent of geologic knowledge regarding probable changes in facies within given horizons, both vertically and laterally, particularly in relation to the resultant effect on the electrical properties of the reservoir as mentioned in this paper.
Book

An Introduction to Applied and Environmental Geophysics

TL;DR: The first edition of the book as mentioned in this paper contains case histories, and descriptions of geophysical techniques not previously included in such textbooks, but the level of mathematics and physics is deliberately kept to a minimum but is described qualitatively within the text.

Occam's inversion to generate smooth, two-dimensional models from magnetotelluric data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an extension of the existing 1-D algorithm, Occam's inversion, to smooth 2-D models using an extension to the existing Occam inversion.
