Electrical Conductivity and Permittivity of Porous Media: Origin, Measurements, and Implications.

ABSTRACT: Electrical sensing technologies have advanced our ability to infer and evaluate the hydraulic characteristics of porous media that are otherwise inaccessible to direct measurement. Such challenges are particularly prevalent in geo-porous materials such as rocks and soils found in remote regions, harsh environments, or beneath the Earth's surface. Noninvasive sensing and characterization of these materials are indispensable preliminary steps for water-energy nexus activities, including extraction processes (e.g., desalination, groundwater utilization, fossil fuel and geothermal exploration and production) and mitigation efforts (e.g., sediment transport monitoring, contaminant management, and carbon or hydrogen capture, utilization, and storage). These electrical properties are measurable o
