→Applications for development geology
The following is a brief summary of some of the many possible applications of electrical methods of interest to the development geologist:
The following is a brief summary of some of the many possible applications of electrical methods of interest to the development geologist:
* Evaluation of various characteristics of the shallow environment. Examples of such characteristics are the classification of unconsolidated materials based on their electrical properties, the identification of a lateral and /or vertical freshwater-saltwater boundary, the depth to bedrock, and the identification and mapping of conductive groundwater contaminants.

* Monitoring of reservoir [[stimulation]] and enhanced recovery projects, where the stimulants and propants or flood materials can be expected to modify the resistivity of the formations.
