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.

Exploring the regolith with electrical resistivity tomography in large-scale surveys: electrode spacing-related issues and possibility

TL;DR: In this paper, a negative trade-off between larger electrode spacing and reduced accuracy of the inverted ERT images for shallow layers was investigated for a set of synthetic "conductive-resistive-conductive" three-layered soil-saprock/saprolite-bedrock models in combination with a reference field dataset.

Finite element numerical simulation of 2.5D direct current method based on mesh refinement and recoarsement

TL;DR: This work introduces the mesh refinement and mesh recoarsement into the traditional structured mesh subdivision and solves the singularity problem and reduces the number of grid cells by 80% compared to the uniform grid refinement.

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.
