Dual Frequency Induced Polarization Method: An Effective Approach for Mineral Exploration

Dual Frequency Induced Polarization Method: An Effective Approach for Mineral Exploration provides the first English-language text on the successful but little-known dual frequency induced polarization method. Engineers and technicians in geophysical exploration will appreciate learning about this enhanced method in sections that comprehensively explain the basic principle, method, technology and application of the dual frequency induced polarization method. Chapters cover the mathematical basis, observation parameters, instrument principle, application essentials, field work methods, technology, interference factors and their overcoming methods, ore prospecting and engineering application examples, and more.

In particular, the needs of frontline engineering and technical personnel are addressed in chapters specifically related to field work. Researchers, engineers and technicians working in geophysical exploration will discover a thorough and detailed description of all aspects of the dual frequency induced polarization method.

• Comprehensively discusses the basic principle, method, technology and application effect of dual frequency IP method
• Covers field work methods, techniques, interference factors and overcoming methods, ore prospecting, and engineering application examples, etc.
• Considers the needs of front-line engineering and technical personnel

Professor in School of Geosciences and Info-physics at Central South University. He was elected as one of the first academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1994, and once served as president of Central South University of Technology, member of the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and now is a lifelong member of the American Association of Exploration Geophysics. He established and developed the theory and method of Dual-frequency IP method and Pseudo-random signal electromagnetic method. His theories, methods and instruments have been applied throughout China, and a large number of minerals have been found.
