Electrical resistivity geophysical methods
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-009119
Methods of measuring subsurface conditions through the use of an electrical current that is applied to the ground through a set of electrodes. Another set of electrodes is then used to measure the resulting voltage. The greater the distance between electrodes, the deeper the investigation.
