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.

Bulk density and water content-dependent electrical resistivity analyses of different soil classes on a laboratory scale

TL;DR: In this paper, electrical conductivity was measured in dependency of bulk density and water content by applying a laboratory setup which enables a comparison to natural in-situ conditions, and a correlation coefficient of r2 ǫ = 0.95 has been developed.

Electrical Resistivity Method for Water Content Characterisation of Unsaturated Clay Soil

TL;DR: In this paper, an automated multi-electrode resistivity system was developed for the water content characterisation of unsaturated clay soil, which was tested using a wide range of high precision reference resistors and different soils, and validated using commercial standard instruments.

The forensic geophysical controlled research site of the University of Brasilia, Brazil: Results from methods GPR and electrical resistivity tomography

TL;DR: Electrical resistivity results showed that the Wenner-Schlumberger array presents a better resolution of the lateral boundaries of the burials, and the dipole-dipole array present a better sensitivity to heterogeneity of the buried materials.

3D electrical resistivity tomography technique for the investigation of a construction and demolition waste landfill site

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) geophysical survey conducted in order to calculate the geometrical features and general structure of a construction and demolition waste layer in an old unregulated landfill prior to redevelopment is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

3-D cross-gradient joint inversion of seismic refraction and DC resistivity data

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a 3D cross-gradient joint inversion algorithm for seismic refraction and DC resistivity data, where a limited memory quasi-Newton approach was used to perform the optimization of the objective function.

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.
