abstract = {Spectral Electrical Impedance Tomography (spectral 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
because many soils and sediments are only weakly polarizable
and show small phase angles between 1 and 20 mrad only. It
is a challenge to reach this phase accuracy in a broad
frequency range for EIT measurements in the field. In the
case of borehole EIT measurements, 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 measured
transfer impedances, both coupling effects can cause large
phase errors that have typically limited the frequency
bandwidth of field EIT measurements to the mHz to Hz range.
In this presentation we will i) derive correction procedures
for capacitive and inductive coupling effects to extend the
applicability of EIT to the kHz range and ii) validate these
corrections using controlled laboratory measurements and
field measurements. In order to do so, the inductive
coupling effect was modeled using electric circuit models
and the capacitive coupling effect was modeled by
integrating discrete capacitances in the electrical forward
model describing the EIT measurement process. The measured
calibration data set of mutual inductances obtained for each
individual electrode chain was combined with the numerically
modeled mutual inductances to obtain the mutual inductance
for each considered electrode configuration (e.g.
cross-hole). The correction methods were successfully
verified with measurements under controlled conditions in a
water-filled rain barrel, where a high phase accuracy of 1
mrad in the frequency range up to 10 kHz was achieved and
also verified in a first field demonstration using a 10 m
borehole EIT chain with 8 electrodes. The results of a 1D
inversion show that the correction methods increased the
phase accuracy considerably.},
