Truly informative and useful explanation. Thank you. I have a question dear David. As far as I know, electrical resistivity measurements are ideally applicable where there are relatively negligible subsurface variations both horizontally and vertically. however such an ideal situation is in fact unattainable. How much deviation from this ideal condition can be allowed? what about non-homogeneous conditions? Can we trust the result for example on the basin slopes (basin edges) where the horizontal layering between electrodes can be violated? Many thanks.

Hi Juzer. I'm the guy in the video - lecturer in Forensic and Geographical disciplines at LJMU, Liverpool, England. Giuseppe is correct - specifically it is the Syscal Pro 72 - which means it has up to 72 electrodes available. It is my very favourite piece of equipment. I hope you have the chance to benefit from this wonderful, exciting area of science.

This demo could have been done more easily in the University campus grounds! The explanation should be done beforehand and the practical aspects of electrode placement and connections etc. shown on site.

@@karhukivi I bow to your superior knowledge. Perhaps you might, however, ask yourself whether, perhaps, I do in fact teach these subjects in the university campus grounds and whether there might have been a specific reason why, on thus occasion, I was teaching such basic matters on a hillside in the north of England. Just a thought.

@@Brynmawrhill I know you do! but I did wonder why those students had to stand and listen in the cold. They should already know the basics and be able to lay out the cables and make the measurements before they get to a real-world application. A close-up of the equipment and a diagram of the geological situation would have been interesting, next video perhaps?

No. Resistance is the more correct term because we measure the ratio of current to potential to calculate resistance but we then infer resistivity with reference to the electrode geometry. The value we measure can be exactly interpreted as resistance (or, indeed, impedance, though these are usually DC measurements) but the inferred resistivity value is only ever an approximation which requires certain assumptions. This is why we refer to it as 'apparent' resistivity.
@karhukivi2 ай бұрын
@@Brynmawrhill It is not resistance that is measured. However, the units of voltage divided by current (V/I) appear in units of resistance. In fact, four electrodes are required to exclude the contact resistance of the electrodes, so the current is passed through one pair of electrodes while the potential difference is measured between another pair. The appropriate geometrical factor for the array used converts this to apparent resistivity, the word "apparent" implies that ground is assumed to be isotropic and homogenous for the purposes of the calculation.
@Brynmawrhill2 ай бұрын
@@karhukivi You make my point well. Resistance - the ratio of voltage to current - between the four electrodes is what we actually measure. Resistivity - whether accurately known or apparent - is always based on assumptions of homogeneity in the subsurface which we can pretty much guarantee do not hold. The inhomogeneities are, after all, what we are seeking to reveal.
@karhukivi2 ай бұрын
@@Brynmawrhill I think you are missing the point it is not resistance, although it has the units of resistance, ohms. The values of "resistance" obtained in a multi-electrode array bear no relationship to the inter-electrode resistance nor the contact resistance of the electrodes with the soil. An analogous example would be hydraulic conductivity which has units of m/s which looks like velocity but is not. The flow velocity also depends on porosity and hydraulic gradient. Aquifer transmissivity is even stranger, with units of m²/day which looks like the output of a carpet factory! Apparent resistivity can even have negative values, especially in down-hole surveys, but resistance cannot be negative. The multi-electrode survey in the video is correctly known as "electrical resistivity tomography", the name used by manufacturers and practitioners in their publications.
