Schlumberger method
The Schlumberger method is a method named after the Franco-German mining engineer Conrad Schlumberger for measuring the specific electrical resistances of the subsurface. The resistance of the subsurface is measured with two feeding and two measuring electrodes, whereby the measuring electrodes (M, N) remain fixed and the position of the feeding electrodes (A, B) is varied symmetrically around the center point.
It is used, among other things, for the exploration of deposits and for dimensioning protective earths. A related method is the Wenner method .
