Lefkada and Corfu old towns are located in the western part of Greece, Ionian Sea. Their proximity to Hellenic subduction zone (HSZ) is reason for their intense seismicity. The main goal this study was estimation geotechnical characteristics subsurface, with contribution applied geophysical techniques. Therefore, seismic refraction tomography (SRT) multichannel analysis surface waves (MASW) wer...

Abstract The recent research is carried out to model the characteristics and productivity of groundwater aquifer in Omdurman area, Sudan, by combining electrical resistivity pumping test methods. most populous city known as traditional capital Sudan. Vertical sounding (VES) survey using Schlumberger array along four profiles delineate potential zones. Application 1D geophysical inversion reveal...

The electrical resistivity of pure liquid selenium has been measured by many investigators [ 1 — 7 ] ; yet only a few of them describe the way in which their samples were prepared. Abdullaev et al. [3] and later Gobrecht et al. [4] and Koningsberger [5] have found that small amounts of oxygen have an enormous influence on the electrical resistivity of the liquid. Furthermore it was found [3, 5]...

Koyna region is well-known for its triggered seismic activities since the hazardous earthquake of M = 6.3 occurred around the Koyna reservoir on 10 December 1967. Understanding the shallow distribution of resistivity pattern in such a seismically critical area is vital for mapping faults, fractures and lineaments. However, deducing true resistivity distribution from the apparent resistivity dat...

We present an open source 3-D, MATLAB based, resistivity inversion package. The package uses a finite volume discretization to solve the forward partial differential equation. We include a highly efficient approach to reducing boundary effects and source electrode singularities. Solving of the forward problem is achieved by using a preconditioned bi-conjugate stabilized gradient method. For the...

This paper reports the correlation between film thickness, nanostructure and DC electrical properties of copper thin films deposited by PVD method on glass substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for crystallography and morphology investigation, respectively. Resistivity was measured by four point probe instrument, while a Hall effects measurement system w...

Electrical resistivity method was used in carrying out geophysical investigations at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, with a view of determining the depth to the bedrock, thickness of the top soil and weathered basement.Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was carried out at forty (40) VES stations. ABEM terrameter (SAS 3...
