Recent developments in the direct-current geoelectrical imaging method

TL;DR: 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.

Electrical resistivity tomography technique for landslide investigation: A review

TL;DR: A review of the main results obtained by applying 2D and 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) for the investigation of a wide spectrum of landslide phenomena which affected various geological formations and occurred in different geographic areas is presented in this paper.

Applied Geophysics: Appendix B. Location Determination

TL;DR: A magnetic compass is often used to determine direction with respect to magnetic north, correction for the magnetic declination giving true north, more during magnetic storms as discussed by the authors, but care has to be exercised that no local iron or electric currents distort the magnetic field.

High-resolution electrical imaging of the Varco d'Izzo earthflow (southern Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied geoelectrical prospecting techniques in the study of the Varco d'Izzo landslide, which is characterized by a rototranslational movement in the early stage and successively has undergone earthflow-type movement, which still continues today.

Comparison of GPR, 2D-resistivity and traditional techniques for the subsurface exploration of the Öschingen landslide, Swabian Alb (Germany)

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of traditional methods (drilling, mapping, inclinometers) and geophysical techniques (2D-resistivity (ERT), ground-penetrating radar (GPR)) was applied to gain knowledge about the thickness and internal structure of the landslide.

High-resolution geoelectrical tomographies in the study of Giarrossa landslide (southern Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied new geoelectrical techniques to the study of the Giarrossa landslide in the Lucano Appennines of southern Italy, and showed the presence of a conductive zone at a depth of about 25-35m associated with the landslide body and some shallow high-resistivity nuclei associated with intercalations in the disturbed material.
