Abstract :
This paper presents a method for the estimation of soil parameters in the case of a multilayered horizontal soil. The method is used in education for the interpretation of resistivity sounding measurements of a stratified soil. A graphical interface is utilized and allows the users to interact during geophysical inversion and provides feedback in the form of apparent resistivity curves along with information on the progression of the process. This paper demonstrates the use of an interactive tool for the interpretation of resistivity sounding. Interpretation of measurements is done by minimizing the quadratic, relative or logarithmic distance between the measured and the calculated resistivities
