Interpreting RES/IP Data: Tips for Subsurface Characterization
Every dataset tells a unique story in electrical resistivity imaging (ERI). For experienced professionals and academics, the challenge often lies in interpreting this narrative from the inverted data. This involves identifying important subsurface features such as groundwater, voids, contamination plumes, and other significant aspects.
In previous posts, we discussed the key factors to consider when analyzing groundwater exploration and dam monitoring data. Today, let's broaden the scope.
