Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Calcareous Sediments

Source

A four-electrode resistivity probe was successfully designed for use in the upper layers of unconsolidated submarine sediments, with emplacement by vibratory driving. Measurements with this probe in calcareous sediments off the southeast coast of Florida indicate an average conductivity of 1.0 mho/m and a range of 0.4 to 1.4 mho/m.
