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.

Using repeat electrical resistivity surveys to assess heterogeneity in soil moisture dynamics under contrasting vegetation types

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the difficulties in collecting large amounts of spatial soil moisture data through a study combining plot and transect-scale electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys to estimate soil moisture in a 3.2 km 2 upland catchment in the Scottish Highlands.

Geoelectrical signals of geologic and hydrologic processes in a fringing reef lagoon setting

TL;DR: In this article, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to investigate the electrical signature of these features with a dense, multiscale network of electrical resistivities tomography surveys in the Muri Lagoon of Rarotonga, Cook Islands.

Local- and plot-scale measurements of soil moisture: Time and spatially resolved field techniques in plain, hill and mountain sites

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of different local and plot scale soil moisture measurement techniques applied in three different conditions in terms of altitude, land use, and soil type, namely a plain, a mountain meadow and a hilly vineyard.

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.
