This paper presents compelling case studies demonstrating the adaptability and efficacy of the Fullwaver system in generating accurate 3D subsurface resistivity models across diverse geological landscapes with varying logistical challenges. Emphasizing the significance of a robust 3D survey design, our findings underscore its flexibility for a thorough 3D imaging of fault-related extensional basins’ over three case studies, each involving large-scale 3D surveys (15 to 50 km2) in seismically active areas. Utilizing specific survey strategies, electrode layouts, and array configurations, the Fullwaver system demonstrates its adaptability to complex logistics and delivers robust 3D subsurface models with optimal investigation depth and near-surface resolution. While acknowledging the influence of geological settings and material properties on imaging quality, we showcase how employing distinct acquisition strategies proves instrumental in resolving both deep-seated and near-surface features. The insights gained from these studies extend beyond fault-related extensional basins, offering valuable implications for applications in hydrogeological, geothermal, and environmental scenarios often characterized by complex subsurface heterogeneities across a broad spectrum of investigation depths.
