Natural-field soundings from the near surface to the mantle

Method notes

Interpretation

A 800 m cover of 30 ohm-m over 500 ohm-m basement turns the sounding curve at about 2755 m; natural-field energy at 1 Hz senses roughly 4830 m.

Apparent resistivity sounding

The curve leaves the cover resistivity and asymptotes to the basement value.

Impedance phase

Phase above 45 degrees means resistivity is increasing with depth, below means decreasing.
