Harris (Curtin University of Technology) SUMMARY Theoretical and computational models for seismoelectric signals arising from electrokinetic coupling have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years but there remain difficulties in measuring these signals in field conditions particularly when the sources and receivers are both on surface. To begin the signals are often orders of magnitude weaker than the ambient electrical noise and existing seismic or EM/ electrical recording systems are not optimized for
