Environmental Work

2D Resistivity provides very reliable results in determining permafrost conditions, including variable patterns of frost lenses in the soil. Resistivity is, alongside ground-penetrating radar (GPR), often the preferred method, despite its slower measurement speed. This is because resistivity measures a material property (resistivity) rather than a reflection, as with radar and seismic methods, and exhibits significant data differences between frozen and non-frozen materials. With radar and seismic, frost boundaries can easily be confused with sediment-bedrock boundaries or the presence of boulders.
 

We offer one-time insights or monitoring, as well as continuous monitoring with permanently installed systems.
