What is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)? The Ultimate Guide to Subsurface Imaging
Definition & Basic Principles Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), also called the high-density resistivity method, is an advanced geophysical technique that reconstructs subsurface resistivity distributions using multi-electrode arrays. By injecting direct current (DC) into the ground and measuring voltage differentials, ERT…

Comparative Study of Underground Electrical Exploration Methods
Introduction In the fields of mineral resource exploration, engineering geological surveys, and groundwater resource assessment, electrical exploration technologies have emerged as fundamental underground detection methods due to their non-destructive nature and high-resolution capabilities. This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of…

Comparative Study of Geophysical Exploration Methods: High-Density Electrical Resistivity, DC Resistivity Sounding, and Electrical Resistivity Tomography
1. Introduction Geophysical exploration methods play a critical role in subsurface investigations. Among them, resistivity-based techniques are widely used due to their high sensitivity to electrical property variations. This article systematically compares four core resistivity methods: High-Density Resistivity (HDR), DC Resistivity Sounding, 2D…

What is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)? | Comprehensive Guide
1. Technical Definition & Principles ERT reconstructs 3D subsurface resistivity models through electrode arrays. When geological structures (e.g., rock layers with 10-1000 Ω·m resistivity) exhibit conductivity differences, Geotech’s systems (such as the WGMD-10X) inject 0.1-5A currents and measure millivolt-level potential…
