The application of 2D resistivity imaging to exploration of the SanChaHe landslide

Landslide are natural geological disasters that require extra engineering precautions to assure safety to infrastructure. The 2D resistivity imaging method can provide accurate characterizations of the structure of landslides, which can lead to improved engineering designs. Using multi-electrode electrical surveys and improved Zohdy inversion, we produced 2D resistivity images of the SanChaHe landslide in China. After interpreting those resistivity images, we can locate the sliding boundary and sliding planes of the landslide, and estimate other landslide attributes.
