Bipole-Bipole Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 11

AGI Blog - Electrical Resistivity Methods Part 11 - The Bipole-Bipole Array

 

 

It’s been a long journey, but today we’re at the end of our 11-part series discussing Electrical Resistivity Methods. In this final discussion, we’re going to give you an overview of the Bipole-Bipole Array.  

Don’t worry though, we plan to do more long-form series like this in the future about different topics!  

 

EarthImager Demonstrations with Hasan Aktarakci and Eduardo Rodrigues

AGI EarthImager 1D 2D and 3D demonstration hosted by Hasan Aktarakci and Eduardo Rodrigues

Throughout July, our Madrid office has been hosting webinars to demonstrate the basics of EarthImager™ 1D, 2D, and 3D. Some of our customers—especially those who signed up for webinar alerts—were lucky enough to attend the free webinars. There, they could ask questions and watch the hosts use the software in real time. We shared a lot of useful information during these webinars so we don't want to keep them hidden away! Below, you can find all of the webinars—including the ones hosted in Spanish. 

 

Mise-A-La-Masse: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 10

AGI Blog - Electrical Resistivity Methods: Mise-A-La-Masse

 

Hello again, and welcome back to our 11-part series discussing electrode arrays and electrical resistivity methods. In this post, we get to brush off our high-school French with the Mise-a-la-Masse Method. 

 

In case this is your first time, we’ve also covered the following:

Part 1: The Wenner Array

Part 2: The Schlumberger Array

Azimuthal Method: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 9

AGI Blog: Electrical Resistivity Methods: Azimuthal Method

Hello again, and welcome back to our 11-part series discussing electrode arrays. We’re deep into the non-standard electrode arrays now. This time, we’re discussing the Azimuthal Electrode Array configuration. 

 

In case this is your first time, we’ve also covered the following:

Part 1: The Wenner Array

Part 2: The Schlumberger Array

Quick Tip: Improving Contact Resistance

AGI Blog: Reduce Contact Resistance

 

Honestly, this blog post has been a long time coming. Why? Because “How do I improve contact resistance?” is probably one of our top 5 most asked questions from AGI customers. The question comes up in nearly all of our AMA Webinars, seminars, and troubleshooting calls. So we’re finally answering this question in the blog (and AGI Help Desk) so that you’ll always have the answer on hand!

Alright, let’s get into it.

Gradient Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 8

AGI Blog - Electrical Resistivity Methods Pt8 - The Gradient Array

Today, we’re discussing the Gradient Array. Well—more accurately—the Gradient Arrays. The Gradient Array actually comes in two flavors, the Edge Gradient and the Strong Gradient. Fun fact, we recommend the Strong Gradient array the most to our customers. Why? Well, read on to find out!

 

By the way, this is the eighth article in our series exploring some common (and uncommon) electrode arrays.

We’ve also covered the following:

Part 1: The Wenner Array

Quick Tip: What attracts animals to your ERI survey (and how can you stop them)?

AGI Blog - What attracts animals to your survey?

 

Electrical Resistivity Surveys mostly happen outdoors. Of course, you can perform small-scale tests indoors, but most clients aren’t going to give you such a comfortable project. So you’ll need to make your way outdoors into the heart of mother nature. And as such, you’ll be sharing your space with all manner of wildlife.

 

Some animals will shy away if they notice you working around their habitat. Others can be more curious—or attracted to some aspects of the survey.

Square Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 7

AGI Blog - Electrical Resistivity Methods Part 7, The Square Array

 

Welcome back to our series detailing the different electrode arrays that you may come across in your work. This is the seventh article in our series exploring 11 electrode arrays and methods. We’ve covered some of the standard arrays that will cover most of your bases. In the last post, we’ve started talking about some lesser known arrays. Today, we’re discussing another non-standard electrode array—the Square Array.

 

Equatorial Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 6

The AGI Blog - Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 6: The Equatorial Array

 

Many moons ago we wrote a series of blog posts detailing the standard array types that you’re most likely to use in your work (links below). Now we’re back to finish off the series with the remaining 6 arrays that aren’t commonly used. And since we’re in the middle of this blog series, why not discuss the Equatorial Array? Get it? Because “equatorial” sounds like “equator”. Ok, bad jokes aside, let’s get on with it.
