abstract = {Spectral Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) allows
obtaining images of the complex electrical conductivity for
a broad frequency range (mHz to kHz). It has recently
received increased interest in the field of near-surface
geophysics and hydrogeophysics because of the relationships
between complex electrical properties and hydrogeological
and biogeochemical properties and processes observed in the
laboratory with Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP).
However, these laboratory results have also indicated that a
high phase accuracy is required for surface and borehole EIT
measurements because many soils and sediments are only
weakly polarizable and show phase angles between 1 and 20
mrad. In the case of borehole EIT measurements, long cables
and electrode chains (>10 meters) are typically used, which
leads to undesired inductive coupling between the electric
loops for current injection and potential measurement and
capacitive coupling between the electrically conductive
cable shielding and the soil. Depending on the electrical
properties of the subsurface and the measured transfer
impedances, both coupling effects can cause large phase
errors that have typically limited the frequency bandwidth
of field EIT measurement to the mHz to Hz range. The aim of
this study is i) to develop correction procedures for these
coupling effects to extend the applicability of EIT to the
kHz range and ii) to validate these corrections using
controlled laboratory measurements and field measurements.
In order to do so, the inductive coupling effect was modeled
using electronic circuit models and the capacitive coupling
effect was modeled by integrating discrete capacitances in
the electrical forward model describing the EIT measurement
process. The correction methods were successfully verified
with measurements under controlled conditions in a
water-filled rain barrel, where a high phase accuracy of 2
mrad in the frequency range up to 10 kHz was achieved. In a
field demonstration using a 10 m borehole EIT chain with 8
electrodes with 1 m electrode separation, the corrections
were also applied within a 1D inversion of the borehole EIT
measurements. The results show that the correction methods
increased the measurement accuracy considerably.},
