Seismoelectrical Method - Examples of Successful Field Studies

Examples of Successful Field Studies

The propagation of seismic waves in porous rocks is associated with a small transient deformation of rock matrix and pore space which can cause electromagnetic fields of observable amplitude if the pores are saturated. Seismoelectric field measurements are expected to help localize permeable layers in porous rocks and provide information about anelastic properties such as hydraulic permeability or fluid chemistry. This theoretical potential for hydrogeological applications, however, is so far confirmed only by a very limited number of reliable field studies. In addition, these studies usually show only one example of a successful detection of seismoelectric signals. As a consequence, the seismoelectric method is still far from being routinely used.

Famous quotes containing the words examples of, examples, successful, field and/or studies:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    The passions are the only orators that are always successful in persuading. They are a kind of art in nature, that proceeds upon infallible rules; and the plainest man, with the help of passion, shall prevail more than the most eloquent man without it.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    And through the field the road runs by
    To many-towered Camelot;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Even if one studies to an old age, one will never finish learning.
    Chinese proverb.
