Abstract

ABSTRACT

A combination of DC‐resistivity sounding and profiling measurements can be used to obtain the maximum information about distribution of resistivities in the earth. Combined sounding‐profiling measurements with the AMN, MNB arrays are considered. The resistivity data from such measurements can be presented as: (a) normal sounding curves, (b) combined sounding‐profiling curves, (c) profiling curves, (d) pseudo‐sections, or as transformations obtained by the so‐called gradient processing, to emphasize the influence of the target objects.

The examples chosen from numerical modeling and field tests show the efficiency of measurements with three‐electrode arrays to accurately locate thin conductors and contacts of lithological units of different resistivities. An interpreted cross‐section is compared with the results of other geophysical measurements (VLF‐R, dipole EM, Δ, IP) showing good correlation.
