GEOELECTRIC DETERMINATION OF QUALITY CHANGES AND TECTONIC DISTURBANCES IN COAL DEPOSITS*

Abstract

ABSTRACT A new underground geoelectric method is presented for the determination of small tectonic disturbances and barrenings in coal seams. The distribution of the apparent resistivity can be mapped from the measured apparent resistance data by using a recently developed geoelectric imaging method. The applicability of the methods are proved by in situ measurements and by a model experiment.
