Wadi Almarsad Project: Comparison of Dipole-Dipole IP/Resistivity and CSAMT Results

This project highlights two important points: 1) the very good agreement of results between IP and CSAMT survey methods, and 2) the excellent comparison between the inversion models from the two survey methods. Both data sets were acquired by the same field crew, using the same GDP-16 receiver and GGT-10 transmitter equipment.

The following example shows the dipole-dipole data and the CSAMT data that were acquired along the same line during a training session at Wadi Almarsad in the Kingdom of Jordan. The line is on relatively flat ground, crossing a narrow valley. The alluvial fill material is of an unknown depth, but expected to be less than 200 meters, except in the center of the valley.
