======================================= Introduction ======================================= A good introduction to resistivity mapping is given by `Binley and Slater `_ accessible as a online resource from the library. In the video below I summarized some essentials from an applied perspective: .. image:: ./img/Resistivity1.png :width: 700 :target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KgupS8gdts :alt: Introducing the resistivity method 1 An important and educational example are principles of vertical electrical sounding which provides us with a forward model that can be handled using standard computers. .. image:: ./img/Resistivity2.png :width: 700 :target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2-sxg65KUE :alt: Introducing the resistivity method 2 .. .. image:: img/VideoCostFunction2.png .. :width: 700 .. :alt: Video introduction the cost function
