Acoustic velocities and electrical properties of frozen sandstones and shales
Ultrasonic velocities and electrical properties have been measured in the laboratory at permafrost temperatures on a number of samples of sandstones and a shale which had been recovered from boreholes in the arctic and stored in their natural frozen state. Compressional and shear-wave velocities, el...

Ultrasonic velocities and electrical properties have been measured in the laboratory at permafrost temperatures on a number of samples of sandstones and a shale which had been recovered from boreholes in the arctic and stored in their natural frozen state.

The phase-angle differences measured show no consistent relationship with either frequency or temperature, but they are all less than 12° in magnitude. The electrical resistivity at a particular frequency and the ultrasonic velocities are affected in a similar manner by changes in temperature.
