Geoelectric
Geoelectric refers to the study of electrical properties of the Earth's subsurface. This field involves measuring the electrical resistivity of soil and rock layers to understand geological formations and locate resources like water, minerals, and hydrocarbons. Techniques such as electrical resistivity tomography and induced polarization are commonly used in geoelectric surveys.
Geoelectric methods are valuable in environmental studies, helping to identify contamination in groundwater and assess soil stability. By analyzing how electricity flows through different materials, scientists can create detailed images of underground structures, aiding in construction, mining, and environmental management efforts.
