AGI Suggested Reading | Part 5
Posted by Sean on Nov 05, 2018
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:

AGI's Panama Seminar Recap
Posted by Sean on Nov 02, 2018
Our very own Eduardo Rodrigues—from our Madrid office—spent a few days in Panama, where he hosted a seminar.
One of the great things about our field is that as long as there’s earth, there’s someone who’s interested in surveying the earth. And as long as someone is interested in earth surveys, there’s someone who's interested in Electrical Resistivity Imaging. It’s always great when we get outside of our offices for a little “T&T” (travel & teaching). It gives us a chance to meet others in our field—or thinking about entering our field—...
AGI Suggested Reading | Part 4
Posted by Sean on Oct 31, 2018
Let’s continue with our eight-part series where we’ll be recommending some further reading for those of you who want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more in the realm of geophysics. The trio of suggestions that we’ve listed below cover geophysical inversion, induced polarization, and matrix computations. Reading any (or all) of these should help to broaden your knowledge and bolster your confidence going into your next geophysical survey.
And in case you missed them, here are the previous suggestions in this series:

AGI Suggested Reading | Part 3
Posted by Sean on Oct 29, 2018
Welcome back to our eight-part series where we’ll be recommending some further reading for those of you who want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more. We hope our suggestions so far have been helpful in broadening your understanding of these topics. And if not—well—the third time's the charm!
In case you missed them, here are the previous suggestions in this series:

AGI Suggested Reading | Part 1
Posted by Sean on Oct 19, 2018
Welcome to this eight-part series where we’ll be recommending some further reading for those of you who want to learn more about resistivity, induced polarization, and more. We’ve used the publications in this list time and time again—and we want to share that knowledge with you!
This won’t be a definitive list (since there is a lot of great literature out there), but the publications we’ve chosen should help to give you a better understanding of these topics—which can only improve your future geophysical surveys. We’ll be linking to the...

How To Test For Underground Voids (Using Electrical Resistivity Imaging)
Posted by Sean on Aug 16, 2018
In our previous article, The 7 Most Common Signs of Sinkholes, we went over some visual cues to spot sinkholes before total collapse. Now, let’s get a little more hands-on and show you how you can actually test for sinkholes before they occur.
So let’s say you suspect that your site may have an underground void (maybe you see depressions in the ground or cracks in your foundation). If you see any signs of a sinkhole, you’ll have to test the area to see what kind of subsidence or sinkhole you’...
Customer Spotlight: CGS | Legendary Sunken Treasure Found in China With The Help Of Electrical Resistivity Imaging!
Posted by Sean on Jul 19, 2018
Well, it’s not every day that we get to use a headline like that—but it’s true! Last year in China, a customer of ours—China Geological Survey (CGS)—worked with The University of Electronic Science and Technology, and Laurel Technologies for an extraordinary project. The joint research team was tasked to conduct an underwater and shoreline geophysical exploration of the Shen Yin site in Jiangkou after a few artifacts were discovered by locals near the shores of a river. These findings quickly grew into a high-profile...
How to find groundwater using Electrical Resistivity Imaging
Posted by Sean on Jul 03, 2018
So often, after someone asks "What is groundwater?", the next immediete question is "How do I find groundwater?". Well today, we're teaching you the best way we know how to find groundwater—Electrical Resistivity Imaging. First things first, we have to remember where groundwater can be found. As you know from our Groundwater Education Series, an aquifer is a natural underground reservoir of water that can be used as a water source. There are few geological formations in the ground...
