Vertical electrical sounding (VES) geophysical data collected in the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve Near Moab, Utah

Description

Vertical electrical soundings (VES) are used to develop depth-resolved models of aquifer resistivity by making electrical potential measurements at increasingly larger electrode spacing, with the array centered around a common point.
Variations in modeled electrical resistivity with depth can be used to infer groundwater salinity and preferential fresh groundwater flow zones. Each of the 4 VES measurement integrates approximately 11 individual electrical soundings with 4 electrodes
driven into the soil in a linear Wenner array with electrode spacings ranging from 1 to 40 m. Data were collected manually with a SuperSting electrical resistivity meter (AGI - Advanced Geosciences, Inc) and recorded by hand in a field book.
