What Does VES Stand For?
VES stands for Vertical Elec Sounding
Vertical Elec Sounding (VES) is a geophysical technique used for subsurface investigation and resource exploration. It involves measuring the variations in electrical resistance of the ground at different depths to determine the geological structure and identify the presence of natural resources such as water, minerals, and hydrocarbons. By applying an electrical current through the ground and analyzing the resulting data, VES helps in assessing soil composition, stratification, and potential environmental hazards, making it a valuable tool in geoscience and engineering projects.
