Electrical resistivity survey in soil science: a review

Inversion of Electrical Resistivity Data: A Review

High density electrical prospecting has been widely used in groundwater investigation, civil engineering and environmental survey. For efficient inversion, the forward modeling routine, sensitivity calculation, and inversion algorithm must be efficient. This paper attempts to provide a brief summary of the past and ongoing developments of the method. It includes reviews of the procedures used f...

Laboratory Electrical Resistivity Studies on Cement Stabilized Soil

Electrical resistivity measurement of freshly prepared uncured and cured soil-cement materials is done and the correlations between the factors controlling the performance of soil-cement and electrical resistivity are discussed in this paper. Conventional quality control of soil-cement quite often involves wastage of a lot of material, if it does not meet the strength criteria. In this study, i...

DIVISION S-1—SOIL PHYSICS Electrical Resistivity Imaging for Detecting Soil Cracking at the Centimetric Scale

soil water content. Mackie-Dawson et al. (1989) studied the evolution of the cracking system in the first 10 cm Electrical resistivity measurements at high resolution (1.5-cm elecof soil by using vertical image analysis. They observed trode spacing) were performed to detect, from the soil surface, small cracks developing within the soil. We recorded a vertical electrical significant soil struct...

Soil moisture variability in a temperate deciduous forest: insights from electrical resistivity and throughfall data

In deciduous forests, soil moisture is an important driver of numerous physical, microbial, and biogeochemical processes. Therefore, characterizing the interactions between vegetation and soil moisture is critical to forecast long-term water resources and ecosystem health. However, these interactions are difficult to measure, both in time and space. Recent studies have shown the ability of elec...
