What is electrical imaging?

Electrical imaging is a geophysical technique used to study the electrical properties of the subsurface. It involves measuring the electrical resistance of materials such as rock, soil, and groundwater using electrodes placed on the surface or in boreholes. The data collected from electrical imaging can be used to create 2D or 3D images of subsurface structures, such as aquifers, faults, and geologic layers. Electrical imaging is commonly used in groundwater exploration, environmental studies, and mineral exploration. It can also be used to monitor the movement of contaminants in the subsurface and to locate buried objects such as utilities or archaeological artifacts.
