The self-potential method: Did the ugly duckling of environmental geophysics turn out in a beautiful swan? - Keynote Session

The self-potential method consists in measuring passively the electrical potential response<br>associated with in situ polarization mechanisms occurring in the Earth. The two main mechanisms of<br>polarization are the redox contribution (with applications concerning contaminant plumes and ore<br>bodies) and the streaming potential associated with ground water flow.
