511 Resistivity Surveying: Getting the Best and Making the Most from Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Induced Polarization Data
This workshop on electrical resistivity and induced polarization is suitable for participants at any stage of the career tree from students to faculty members, early career geologists to seasoned professionals looking to cement their knowledge or broaden their horizons. It starts with basic theory, looking at what the fundamentals of collecting good data are. This will include the most common mistakes made, based on many years’ experience of ABEM technical support. We will look at the principles of 1D, 2D, 3D, and time-lapse measurements, their advantages and necessary considerations, and case studies, including engineering, environment, and minerals, will illustrate this section. If weather permits, we’ll set up a 2D profile (albeit a rather short one) to collect some data and show how the lessons we’ve learned translate to real-world measurements, so come prepared to spend an hour outside. Once back inside, the workshop will continue by looking at the quality assurance methods and data processing steps we can undertake to ensure production of the best possible final model. The course will finish up with visualization of the data and a Q&A session.
