Three-dimensional geophysical anatomy of an active landslide in Lias Group mudrocks, Cleveland Basin, UK

TLDR
In this article, a geoelectrical investigation of a slow moving earth slide in Lower Jurassic Lias Group rocks of the Cleveland Basin, UK, is described, which includes a reconnaissance survey phase using two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), resistivity mapping, self-potential (SP) profiling and mapping, followed by a detailed investigation of an area of the landslide using three-dimensional (3D) ERT and selfpotential tomography.

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.

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.
