Abstract
Resistivity imaging in combination with borehole information is a powerful tool for site investigation. We show that the combination of 1D laterally constrained inversion (1D-LCI) with the use of a priori information from borehole data and 2D smooth inversion adds significant value to the interpretation of continuous vertical electrical sounding (CVES) data. The ID-LCI offers an analysis of the resolution of the model parameters. This is helpful when evaluating the integrity of the model. Furthermore, with the 1D-LCI it is possible to constrain model parameters with a priori information, e.g. depth-to-layer interfaces, based on borehole information. We show that 2D smooth inversion resolves lateral changes well, while 1D-LCI results in... (More)
Resistivity imaging in combination with borehole information is a powerful tool for site investigation. We show that the combination of 1D laterally constrained inversion (1D-LCI) with the use of a priori information from borehole data and 2D smooth inversion adds significant value to the interpretation of continuous vertical electrical sounding (CVES) data. The ID-LCI offers an analysis of the resolution of the model parameters. This is helpful when evaluating the integrity of the model. Furthermore, with the 1D-LCI it is possible to constrain model parameters with a priori information, e.g. depth-to-layer interfaces, based on borehole information. We show that 2D smooth inversion resolves lateral changes well, while 1D-LCI results in well-defined horizontal layer interfaces. In geological environments where the lateral variations are not too pronounced, the 1D-LCI contributes to a geological interpretation of the resistivity measurements. Depths to layers can be interpreted with greater certainty than if using results from 2D smooth inversion only. The inclusion of a priori information in the inversion reveals further details and enhances the geological interpretation significantly. (Less)
