Everyday applied geophysics 1. Electrical methods / Ежедневная прикладная геофизика 1. Электрические методы

This book is dedicated to curious individuals and explorers of knowledge and technologies that have not been awarded a Nobel prize (yet). It has been written for tinkerers who want to employ tools to analyze the near subsoil (less than 20 m) with what is at hand. It has been designed for all those who want to carry out what we call “applied” geophysics (or “subsurface geophysics” as well as “environmental geophysics”, etc.). The authors have mentioned it with individuals from modest backgrounds in mind, as geophysical materials are expensive (naturally, as they are not produced in the thousands).

If we had to point out a prerequisite, it would be a certain familiarity with the laws of electricity and the difference between tension (or difference in potential as well as voltage, in volt) and intensity (in amperes). Thus, neophytes and amateurs of all kinds are welcome. 
Sometimes, more complex calculations are shown in gray boxes for those math brains with a more developed interest, but they do not constitute the bulk of the work and may be disregarded without any serious consequence. <...>
