Permafrost and seasonally frozen ground cover vast regions of our planet and influence infrastructure integrity, slope stability, greenhouse gas release, and hydrologic function. Monitoring changes in ground temperature and/or the amount of unfrozen water present and help manage potential risk to our planet. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a geophysical method used to image subsurface resistivity over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Resistivity is closely related to subzero temperature and unfrozen water content, but the exact nature of this relationship is not well understood.
