One of the coolest applications of resistivity is in the marine environment. Don’t get us wrong, we love solid earth too (it’s our bread and butter after all)—but when you see footage like the video below, you can’t help but be blown away.

Warning—this article contains unsettling images if you’re a Corvette lover.

It may be odd that we here at AGI have a favorite sinkhole. But when you’ve been in the business as long as we have, it would be weird if we didn’t have a favorite sinkhole. As the title of this article suggests, we’re taking a quick look back at a sinkhole known as the “Corvette Cave”.

We seem to have formed a bit of a sinkhole blog trilogy. First, we informed you of the 7 Common Signs of Sinkholes. After that, we showed you how you can Test for Sinkholes. Now, in this article, we want to share what to do once you find an air-filled void on your property.

We’re finally at the end of this eight-part series. We would like to say “we’ve saved the best suggestions for last”, but all of our suggestions are pretty fantastic reads if you want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more. Maybe its because we're posting this around the holiday season, or maybe its because we're sad to see the series end, but we've included 4 entries this time around instead of 3. 

If you’ve taken a peek at our 2018 Seminar Calendar, you’ll notice that we’re finishing up our last seminar of the year. This year, we’ve hosted several seminars between the AGI and AGE offices—which has allowed us to speak to so many of our customers face to face. While it’s a lot of work to put our seminars together—we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. We always get tons of great questions, feedback, and ideas to take into next year.

Our eight-part series is nearly concluded. But don’t worry! We still have a few more suggestions for you if you want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more. In fact, we plan on revisiting this series in the future with newer publications. For now, we’re sticking with the tried-and-true reads that have influenced us over the years. If you have any suggestions on what you think is essential reading, just let us know on social media. We want to keep sharing with our community. 

We’re moving right along through this eight-part series! Here is our latest trio of recommendations for further reading. These picks cover experimental design, induced polarization, and the inverse problem theory. You can use these publications as a starting point in expanding your knowledge on these topics. It’s our hope that in checking out these books and papers, it will lead you to find picks that are beyond our list (and if you find something great, let us know on social media)!

We’re more than halfway through this eight-part series! Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to pick up some of our recommendations so far (links below). If you’re just joining this series, we’ve been recommending some further reading for those of you who want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more. Again, this series isn’t comprehensive—but we think these publications will point you in the right direction.   

In case you missed them, here are the previous suggestions in this series:

Our very own Eduardo Rodrigues—from our Madrid office—spent a few days in Panama, where he hosted a seminar.
