Course Description
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method: geophysical method applied to the characterisation and monitoring of the near-surface. ERT surveys can be applied to the geological, hydrological and engineering investigation of the subsurface in 2D or 3D. It allows the characterisation of e.g. landslides, karst landscapes, wetlands, earth dams, landfills, mine tailings, archeological sites, etc. Applied as a monitoring tool, it provides critical information related to changes in moisture content or changes in temperature in the ground.
Learning Objectives:
- Training in ERT field campaign planning
- Learning techniques of ERT data acquisition and processing
- Insights of ERT data interpretation through data from real world deployments
- ERT surveys, labexperimentand time-lapse experiences
- Establisha solid scientific foundation for the students in the field of Electrical Resistivity.
- Develop a coherent understanding of ERT applications to several of the world’s problems (such asLandslides,groundwater quality etc.) from a scientific perspective.
Skills acquired :
experience in ERT measurement, data interpretation and applications
