Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT – Geoelectric)

One of the important application areas of geophysical exploration is the determination of shallow structures close to the surface by different geophysical methods. As it is known, the extraordinary development of urban and industrial areas, especially in the last 50 years, has brought the necessity of detailed research of the features of the earth close to the surface. Thus, geophysics, which can investigate and define the physical properties of shallow structures with different methods; It has an important place in these researches. Since the last two decades, geophysical exploration on shallow structures has grown tremendously, a situation where many researchers have specialized in this field alone. Working places; It covers a wide area from archaeological structures to solid and liquid waste areas, military materials buried close to the surface, buried engineering and construction structures, determination of hydrogeological environments, geophysical characteristics of the ground where large construction structures will be built. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method is a widely used and effective method in the investigation of such areas.
