An Evaluation of the Potential of the Geoelectrical Resistivity Method for Mapping Gas Migration in Landfills
(2010) 23rd EEGS Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems- Abstract
- Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and growing concern regarding global climate changes over the last years has pointed out the need to quantify and control the leaking of methane into the atmosphere. Landfill gas is regarded as one of the major sources for methane migration to the atmosphere. In this study we present research work with the objective to evaluate the use of geoelectrical resistivity to detect gas migration in landfills. Extensive field experiments were conducted at the Filborna landfill site in Helsingborg, Sweden, in August 2008. In general, the resistivity measurements showed results corresponding to results reported from previous investigations in waste. However, also large variations in resistivity were indicated....

Extensive field experiments were conducted at the Filborna landfill site in Helsingborg, Sweden, in August 2008. In general, the resistivity measurements showed results corresponding to results reported from previous investigations in waste. However, also large variations in resistivity were indicated. Relatively high variability and high mean resistivity in the surface-near layers clearly indicate influence on the resistivity in the upper zone of the landfill. The variability and high resistivity may partly be explained by appearance and migration of landfill gas. (Less)
