Video: Resistivity mapping introduction

In this video we introduce the resistivity method as an active survey type which probes the sub-surface in terms of its electrical resistivity. We derive a solution for the current flow density in a homogenous halfspace and then visualize the potential field for a two electrode setup. The need for a four electrode setup is explained.

Principle of 4 point resistivity mapping

Next we explore the possibility to map a lateral homogenous (vertically variable) sub-surface using the principal of vertical electrical sounding:
