What is Continuous Resistivity Profiling?
Continuous Resistivity Profiling (CRP) is an efficient geophysical method for obtaining subsurface resistivity distribution through continuous movement of electrode arrays. Compared to traditional static resistivity methods (e.g., ERT), its core innovations include: Scientific Principle: A towed electrode array (5-10 m spacing)…
What is 2D/3D ERT Surveys?
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is a geophysical method that maps subsurface resistivity variations caused by differences in rock/soil conductivity. By injecting electrical currents and measuring potential gradients, ERT reconstructs 2D/3D resistivity models with breakthrough advantages: Technological Leap: Modern High-Density Resistivity Systems achieve…
