Investigações geofísicas, pelos métodos geoelétricos de eletrorresistividade e polarização induzida (IP), através das técnicas de sondagem elétrica vertical e caminhamento elétrico (configurações Schlumberger e dipolo-dipolo), foram executadas na área do aterro controlado da cidade de Piracicaba (SP), com o objetivo de avaliar as potencialidades da integração dos métodos na caracterização geoelétrica da área. A área sobre a qual está assentado o aterro de Piracicaba é constituída por sedimentos da Formação Corumbataí (sedimentos argilosos e/ou silto-argilosos, com intercalações de arenitos). A interpretação conjunta da resistividade e da polarizabilidade permitiu mapear zonas de percolação de chorume e identificar os diferentes litotipos das formação, identificando materiais arenosos e siltosos. Ficou evidente que a polarizabilidade é sensível à presença de resíduos urbanos e que o efeito de IP é relacionado a materiais polarizáveis dispostos na cava, como latas, papéis, restos eletrônicos e materiais de empréstimo utilizados para a cobertura dos resíduos. Além disso, o método de IP pode ser mais indicado para o mapeamento de zonas de resíduos onde não exista contraste de resistividade entre o meio natural e os resíduos. Palavras-chave: Eletrorresisitividade, polarização induzida, aterro sanitário.

Este trabalho mostra os resultados obtidos com ensaios geofísicos realizados no Município de Rio Claro (SP) para mapear o lençol freático e delimitar as possíveis áreas de recarga e descarga do Aqüífero Rio Claro. Para tanto, utilizou-se um grande número de ensaios geofísicos, uma vez que não seria adequado gerar um mapa potenciométrico com o pequeno número de poços existentes na área. Os ensaios geofísicos foram executados pelo método de eletrorresistividade, utilizando-se da técnica de sondagem elétrica vertical (SEV) com arranjo Schlumberger. A superfície do lençol freático, na área de estudo, constituída pela Formação Rio Claro, composta de sedimentos arenosos com intercalações de camadas centimétricas argilosas, está situado entre as cotas 566 e 669 m. O fluxo das águas subterrâneas é orientado a partir das cotas altas (norte da área) para as cotas baixas (sul e sudoeste da área) e acompanha, grosso modo, a topografia local. Palavras-chave: Geofísica Aplicada, eletrorresistividade, sondagem elétrica vertical, mapa potenciométrico, Aqüífero Rio Claro.

The mining research is a complex activity, which should preferably involve the combination of direct and indirect techniques of geological research. The increasing demand for base metals in domestic and international markets provide the revaluation of mineral occurrences, which can be converted into deposits and mines. This paper presents the results of the application of geophysical methods of electric resistivity and induced polarization in main foliation parallel to the arrangement of the area, in a deposit of oxides and hydroxides in massive and disseminated ores, docked in gneisses and quartzites, located in the municipality of Itapira, in the North of the State of São Paulo in Brazil. Inversion models indicate the predominance of high cargabilidade that partially coincide with low resistivity values. Integration of geophysical data made possible the drafting of sections of electric walking with cross-checking distance x depth, for detailing your target. The integrated analysis of geophysical and geological structural data leads to the conclusion that the primary mining suffers structural control with the regional foliation in ores

The landfill biogas can be an alternative energetic resource as a fuel to electrical energy generators, although, there are not too many techniques to prospect the gas. Usually, landfills receive home waste, which in most are constituted by organic matter whose degradation by anaerobic activity produces the biogas. Geophysics is an important tool in environmental studies and the electrorresistivity, an important method employed in contaminated areas by slurry or necroslurry, including a monitoring for each contaminator flow. The electrorresistivity has not too much application in finding biogas. For this work, two biogas drains in Rio Claro-SP landfill were selected: one whose waste disposition correspond to the initial activities in the landfill and another drain whose disposition started more recently. The result consists in a higher biogas production if compared to the biogas from the older drain. The present paper consists in a monitoring along one year, with dates collection in each fifteen days. These dates were tabled in Excel 2010 program and graphics of resistivity x depth were generated. Hereafter, most variable resistivity values depth were chosen, to further graphics pluviosity x resistivity generation in Grapher 8 program and the biogas output (m³/h) in monitoring period. The use of pluviosity parameter can be justified by its influence above resistivity. The results show that there is a horizon with possibly biogas accumulation. Lastly, the method was effective, although, for any application of geophysical methods, the knowledge about its limitations is necessary; in this case the influence of pluviosity and also that the measurements were made in one single point, it will not show any side variation

The issue of solid waste disposal and urban growth are conflictive, since the areas where old uncontrolled refuse disposal were away from the city today are incorporated to the urban area population. Thus, now population is closer to the degradation of contaminants coming from waste disposal, and, in some cases, these areas become housing subdivisions. This work aims to support the diagnosis of a former landfill in the municipality of Rio Claro (SP), using geophysical methods through resistivity anomalies. In order to develop the diagnostic, it was utilized water and soil analysis of a preliminary report and techniques of vertical electrical sounding and electrical profiling. The areas influenced by the garbage presented less resistivity than the one of the natural subsoil. Through the interpretation of results, the local potentiometric map was elaborated, as well as a map of calculated resistivity. The interpretation of these products indicated a disagreement between the groundwater flow and the current topography, leading to an identification of a preferential direction of the contamination plume in the NE-SW. These observations prove the applicability of geoelectrical methods in areas of former waste disposal with little information.

The geophysical methods are widely applied in environmental characterization and monitoring studies. The resistivity method, in particular, has a wide area of applications, being effective in studies of solid waste landfills. The present work propose a geophysical monitoring in the Cordeirópolis city controlled landfill and analyze relationships between variation of electrical resistivity parameter, the residence time of the solid waste in landfill, the rainfall in the region and the organic matter biodegradation processes. The study has no monitoring system to control the products generated in the organic matter decomposition found in waste such as sealing blanket or leachate or gas drains. The results shows that the electrical resistivity parameter was effective in monitoring the landfill contamination plume

Geophysical survey is an important method for investigation of contaminated areas used in the characterization of contrasting physical properties in the presence of pollutants. This work applied the geophysical methods of Electrical Resistivity and Self Potential in waste landfill, located in Caçapava do Sul city, RS. The landfill is located over fractured metamorphic rocks. Eight lines of electrical profiling with 288 measures of self potential were done. In addition, 83 measurements of direction and dip of fractures were taken. The application of spontaneous potential method permitted to detect the direction of groundwater flow. The electrical resistivity measurements allowed the identification of low-intensity anomalies associated with the presence of leachate. There is a relationship between anomalous zones and the directions of fractures.

The geophysical methods may be employed in aquifer system studies, as determination of groundwater level, soil/rock contact, beyond estimative of the aquifer thickness horizon. The geoeletric methods are particularly relevant in evaluations of the oilfields systems, due to directs relations between porosity and electrical resistivity, which allow inferences about oil and gas production. The indirect estimative of the productions in free aquifers system is something complex before of the diverse variables responsible for factors or physical phenomena, as clays minerals, which conditioned the physical parameters by electric geophysical methods. This paper present analyzed correlation among electrical resistivity, chargeability and direct measure flow in shallow wells, for determination of statistical relationships between parameters and evaluation of the geological constraints evolved. The study count with the 23 shallow wells located in free aquifer, constituted by alteration materials of the granites localized in Caçapava do Sul (RS). The geophysical data are acquired by vertical electric sounding in Schlumberger array. The correlations between electrical resistivity and flow, chargeability and flow, thickness of the soil/saprolite and flow indicated relationships between physical and hydrogeologic parameters, with variations conditioned by factors as porosity, permeability, besides intrinsic geological heterogeneities such soil variable thickness and rock fragments with several alteration degrees.

Geophysical methods are widely used in mineral exploration for several types of mineral deposits. When combined with direct studies as geochemistry, a substantial increase in the probability of ore discovery is possible in mineral exploration activities. Electrical geophysical methods are particularly promising in studies related to the search of sulphides due to the contrast of physical properties electric resistivity and chargeability. This paper presents the results obtained from the application of Resistivity (DC) and Induced Polarization methods, through the electrical profiling technique, aiming at evaluating the potential mineral of a gabbro intruded in a metasedimentary sequence, in an area where several occurrences of gold and copper were described. This gabbro is ranked on the Basic-Ultrabasic stratiform bodies, which gather peridotites, gabbros, and layered anortosites. Three radial lines of electrical profiling were performed, spaced of 60° and crossing at the area center, with readings of electric resistivity and chargeability in Wenner-Schlumberger array. The association of low resistivity and high chargeability areas has allowed defining potentially mineralized zones related to structures that condition the drainage net in the gabbro domain. Grains of gold detected through geochemical prospection of alluvial sediments dowstream from the gabbro may have originated from leaching of ores deposited in fractures through the action of river waters within the gabbro domain, possibly consisting of sulphides and gold.

Os combustíveis fósseis respondem por cerca de 90% da matriz energética global, e apesar de ser consenso a necessidade de expansão da mesma e da redução do consumo de bens e energia em nossa cultura, esta mudança caminha a passos muito lentos, e a pesquisa relacionada aos recursos de combustíveis fósseis, inclusive o desenvolvimento de tecnologias que nos permitam explorar economicamente reservas antes inviáveis, ainda é extremamente necessária. As reservas mundiais de petróleo mais acessíveis ou economicamente viáveis, devido à sua extensão ou qualidade do óleo, têm sua vida útil contada e acumulações não convencionais tem sido exploradas. Os arenitos asfálticos da Formação Pirambóia, na borda leste da Bacia do Paraná, foram a acumulação de hidrocarbonetos escolhida para experimentar novos meios de investigação a serem usados na indústria de petróleo, aproveitando-se de métodos geofísicos com aplicações usuais em outras áreas da ciência, como geologia ambiental e geotecnia, testando sua potencialidade na identificação de áreas com presença de hidrocarbonetos. O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar um comportamento elétrico em uma camada de arenito impregnado por betume distinguível do comportamento elétrico das camadas de arenito adjacentes, que não contém betume, estabelecendo assim uma assinatura geofísica associável à presença de hidrocarbonetos. Os métodos utilizados (Eletrorresistividade, Polarização Induzida e Eletromagnético Indutivo) mostraram o comportamento dos arenitos asfálticos em função de seus parâmetros físicos elétricos (resistividade, condutividade e cargabilidade) e possibilitaram a identificação e o mapeamento da camada asfáltica, em meio à camadas não impregnadas por betume, conforme pretendido. A boa correlação entre os perfis gerados após o processamento dos dados obtidos em campo e a geometria da camada observada em afloramento indica que os métodos geoelétricos podem constituir uma ferramenta de análise na pesquisa de hidrocarbonetos em bacias sedimentares continentais, possibilitando um diagnóstico inicial da presença de hidrocarbonetos em áreas pré definidas, com métodos não destrutivos, não poluentes e, comparativamente aos métodos convencionais utilizados na indústria de petróleo e gás, mais baratos e rápidos.
