What is Time-lapse Resistivity Imaging?

In-Depth Analysis of Dynamic Subsurface Monitoring Technology

Technical Definition & Core Value
Time-lapse Resistivity Imaging (TRI), known as Time-lapse high-density electrical method, captures dynamic subsurface changes through multi-temporal 3D ERT surveys. Geotech Series achieves 0.01Ω·m resolution 4D modeling via 1024-channel quantum electrodes and real-time AI processing, revolutionizing traditional static surveys.
