Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) for Environmental Management

The recipient of the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) Certificate for Environmental Management has demonstrated the ability to apply ERT techniques to environmental management projects. This includes:

• Understanding the principles and theories behind ERT in geophysics.

• Collecting field data using ERT equipment for environmental site assessment.

• Analyzing and interpreting ERT data to characterize subsurface conditions in soil and groundwater remediation projects.

• Inverting ERT data to inform decision-making in environmental management.

• Reporting ERT findings effectively, with site-specific recommendations

Criteria

• Complete approximately twelve hours of coursework, including four hours of learning materials (e.g., virtual lectures), two hours of assignments, six hours of fieldwork, data analysis, and report writing.

• Demonstrate proficiency in using ERT equipment use and result interpretation for environmental management.

• Demonstrate proficiency in using ERT equipment and interpreting the results in the context of environmental management.

• Successfully completed a final project where they analyzed real-world environmental data and proposed remediation or monitoring strategies based on ERT findings.
