Abstract

In the context of shallow geothermal applications, geo¬physics can be applied as a design and monitoring tool. One of the most referred applications is monitoring and imaging the time lapse evolution of the Thermal Affected Zone (TAZ). In the last few decades electrical resis¬tivity measurements have been adopted both for the char¬acterization and to image spatial and temporal distribution of temperature within the ground. This paper is therefore devoted to the use of electrical resistivity in this context with a focus on the Italian state of the art. A brief literature review of thermal characteristics influencing the resistivity value and example applications of Electric Resistivity Tomography (ERT) data is reported. Two example case histories, in very different hydrogeological contexts in northern Italy, are also presented.
