Interpretation of Electrometric Data in the Study of the Earth's Surface Deformation Processes

Abstract

Interpretation of electrometric (resistivity and natural potential) data in the study of deformation processes of the Earth's surface within the Verkhnekamsk Potash deposit was carried out. Analysis of the distribution of electrical resistivity data was performed. To locate the components of the natural field approximately corresponding to the subsidence zones, we applied a number of transformations such asfield division with an adaptive two-dimensional energy filtering algorithm, dispersion assessment, classification and assessment of the potential depth distribution using COSCAD 3D software package. The obtained results might be used for location of the potential subsidence zones.
