Resistivity method
The resistivity method is used in the study of horizontal
and vertical discontinuities in the electrical properties
(resistivity) of the subsurface

resistivity in ohm.m (m)
conductivity in Siemens per meter (S/m)
Resistivity is the physical property which determines the aptitude ofthis material to be opposed to the passage of the electrical current

Electrolytic conductivity
The current is carried by ions. The electrical resistivity of
rocks bearing water is controlled mainly by the water which
they contain.

Electrolytic conductivity
The resistivity of a rock will depend :
• on the resistivity of the natural pore water and consequentlythe quantity of dissolved salts in the electrolyte
1g/liter=1000 ppm
• on the quantity of electrolyte contained in the unit of rockvolume (saturation)
• on the mode of electrolyte distribution, porosity

Resistivity of rocks and minerals
Air, gas or oil: infinite or very high resistivity.
Liquid materials from landfills are generally conductive (<10 ohm.m)

The resistivity of a rock decreases if…
•
•
•
•
The quantity of water increases
The salinity increases (quantity of ions)
The quantity of clay increases
The temperature increases

Apparent resistivity
• In a heterogeneous medium, the measured resistivity is an
apparent resistivity, which is a function of the form of the
inhomogeneity and of the electrode spacing and surface
location.
• K is named the geometric factor.

Origine of noise
• Telluric currents
• Man-made currents
• Metallic conductors in the ground (short-circuits)
Solutions:
• Use of alternating current
• Stacking operations
• Rejection filters (16-20 Hz, 50-60 Hz)

Drawbacks
•
•
•
Sensitive to non-unicity in the modeling solutions
Sensitivity to noise and metallic bodies such as pipes (urban area)
Method mainly sensitive to the fluid in rocks. Good for hydrology but a
problem in archeology and soil investigations: the signature of a feature candramatically change with the seasons or weather conditions!

Induced polarization (IP) is an electromagnetic method that uses electrodes
with time-varying currents and voltages to map the variation of electrical
Permittivity (dielectric constant) in the Earth at low frequencies.
Induced polarization is observed when a steady current through two electrodes
in the Earth is shut off: the voltage does not return to zero instantaneously, but
rather decays slowly, indicating that charge has been stored in the rocks. This
charge, which accumulates mainly at interfaces between clay minerals, is
responsible for the IP effect.
The IP effect can be measured in either the time domain by observing the rate
of decay of voltage, or in the frequency domain by measuring phase shifts
between sinusoidal currents and voltages.

Induced Polarization (IP) effect is seen primarily with metallic sulfides,
graphite, and clays. For this reason, IP surveys have been used extensively in
mineral exploration.
Recently, IP has been applied to hazardous waste landfill and groundwater
investigations to identify clay zones.

Membrane polarization
Membrane polarization occurs
when pore space narrows to
within several boundary layer
thicknesses.
Charges accumulate when an
electric field is applied.

Electrode polarization
Electrode polarization occurs
when pore space is blocked
by metallic particles. Again
charges accumulate when an
electric field is applied.
The result is two electrical
double layers which add to
the voltage measured at the
surface.

IP measurements
• Different measurement devices for Time-domain IP and
Frequency-domain IP
• Same electrode arrays (for mapping and sounding) as in
conventional resistivity
• Sensitive to telluric noise
• Sensitive to noise resulting from electromagnetic coupling
between adjacent wires (dipole-dipole array very useful)
• Stability of potential measurements can be a problem (use
non polarizable electrodes)
