What is geoelectric resistivity?

Geoelectric resistivity is a method that involves electrical measurements on the ground surface that determines the thickness of the surface. The equipment that helps in doing this process is exclusively called the resistivity meter. It is based on the principle that, around the current lying electrode, the distribution of electric potential depends on the electrical resistivity's. The process involves measuring the potential difference between two article electrodes introduced in the ground surface when the current flows.

What is Earth Resistivity Tomography

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a well-known subsurface-imaging geophysical technique and is widely applied to mineral prospecting, hydrological exploration, environmental investigation, and civil engineering, as well as archaeological mapping.

With the advancement in (ERT) Electrical Resistivity Tomography from 1D to 2D and nowadays 3D, ERT has explored many areas. The applications of ERT include fault investigation, groundwater table investigation, soil moisture content determination, and many others. Let us jump into the blog to get some more knowledge on ERT and its applications.
