THE SELF-POTENTIAL METHOD
Theory and Applications in Environmental Geosciences
The self-potential method is a simple yet innovative process, enabling non-intrusive assess-
ment and imaging of disturbances in electrical currents of conductive subsurface materials
by measuring the electrical response at the ground’s surface or in boreholes. It has an
increasing number of applications, from mapping fluid flow in the subsurface of the Earth
to understanding the plumbing systems of geothermal fields, and detecting preferential flow
paths in earth dams and embankments.
This book provides the first full overview of the fundamental concepts of this method and
its applications in the field. It begins with a historical perspective, provides a full explanation
of the fundamental theory, laboratory investigations undertaken, and the inverse problem,
and concludes with chapters on seismoelectric coupling and the application of the self-
potential method to geohazards, water resources, and hydrothermal systems.
End-of-chapter exercises aid practitioners and students in developing and testing their
understanding of the theory and its applications. Additionally, data sets and analytical soft-
ware are made available online for the reader to put the theory into practice and analyze
their own data. This book is a key reference for academic researchers and professionals
working in the areas of geophysics, environmental science, hydrogeology, hydrology, envi-
ronmental engineering, and geotechnical engineering. It will also be valuable reading for
related graduate courses.
ANDR E REVIL is Associate Professor at the Colorado School of Mines and Directeur de
Recherche at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France. His research
focuses on the development of new methods in petrophysics, and the development of elec-
trical geophysical methods applied to geothermal systems, water resources, and oil and gas
reservoirs. Dr. Revil is presently Editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research – Solid
Earth , Associate Editor of the Vadose Zone Journal , and Editorial member of the Interna-
tional Journal of Mathematical Modelling & Numerical Optimization , and has published
168 peer-reviewed papers. He received the Bronze Medal from the CNRS for outstand-
ing research in 2003 and an award of excellence from the American Rock Mechanics
Association (ARMA) in 2004.
ABDERRAHIM JARDANI is Associate Professor at the University of Rouen, where he also
obtained his PhD in Geophysics in 2007. His research interests center on environmental
geophysics, mathematical modeling of hydrologic systems and inverse problems. Dr. Jar-
dani has authored 27 peer-reviewed publications in the field of hydrogeophysics, especially
in the theory of self-potential signals and its application to environmental problems. He is
a member of the American Geophysical Union.
