The magnetotelluric method has improved significantly in recent years and is being used in hydrocarbon exploration in regions where seismic exploration is difficult. This includes areas where highvelocity carbonates and volcanic rocks are present in the near surface, overthrust belts, and in subsalt imaging. Magnetotelluric exploration was used in the Rocky Mountain Foothills in 2002 to determi...

The estimation of soil parameters of multilayer structure leads to useful information for designing a safe grounding system. This paper presents a nonlinear regression based estimation scheme to extract soil parameters from the kernel function of apparent earth resistivity. The kernel function of apparent earth resistivity can be obtained from the measured apparent earth resistivity data. The p...

Resistivity and thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements on CeFe2 and two of its pseudo-binaries Ce(Fe, 5% Ir)2 and Ce(Fe, 7% Ru)2 between 78K and 275K are reported. The resistivity data are analysed in terms of contributions from scattering due to phonon, magnon, spin fluctuation and lattice defects, and also from interband scattering. Attempts are made to analyze the TEP data in terms of these...

Laboratory measurements of the resistivity of three sandstone samples collected during imbibition (increasing SXJ) and drainage (decreasing Sn,) show pronounced hysteresis in resistivity throughout much of the saturation range. The variation in resistivity can be related to changes in pore-scale fluid distribution caused by changes in saturation history. The form of the hysteresis is such that ...
