Automatic filtering of ERT monitoring data in mountain permafrost
ABSTRACT Continuous monitoring of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys can be a powerful tool for all kind of long‐term applications in the field of hydrogeophysics and cold‐region geophysics due to its high sensitivity to changes in water and ice content of the near subsurface. However,...
