Vertical electrical resistivity sounding (VERS) of tundra and forest tundra soils of Yamal region
Abstract The aim of the study was to determine electrical resistivity peculiarities of tundra and forest tundra soils and soil-permafrost layers of the Yamal region. Measurements of electrical resistivity of soil and permafrost strata were performed with a portable device LandMapper (to a depth of 3...
