Resistivity Mapping Apparent resistivity map
P6 P5 2D resistivity tomography
Advantages • Resistivity surveys are simple and robust • Non expensive • Allows for a rapid qualitative mapping of the underground • Can be used for a 2D or 3D investigation of the subsurface • Resistivity contrasts are often present in geological deposits
Drawbacks and needs for further developments • Sensitive to non-unicity in the modeling solutions • Quantitative aspects still need to be developed but significant progresses are currently made (3D inversion) • Sensitivity to noise and metallic bodies such as pipes (urban area) • Usually need for a galvanic coupling • Progress needed for better defining the resistivity properties of geological material (petrophysics) • Method mainly sensitive to the fluid in rocks. Good for hydrology but a problem in archeology and soil investigations: the signature of a feature can dramatically change with the seasons or weather conditions!
