INDUCTIVE SOURCE INDUCED POLARIZATION OF FROZEN ROCKS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH DIELECTRIC RELAXATION OF ICE
Keyword(s):
Fast decaying induced polarization in frozen rocks manifest itself as a not monotone induction transients. To account for induced polarization in the transient electromagnetic method, one usually uses the Pelton resistivity model. The relaxation time t, as found using the Pelton model, determines the decay rate of induced polarization voltage response to a current source. Conversion from t to the time constant t specifying the decay rate of the polarization current response to a voltage source, suggests that fast decaying induced polarization in frozen rocks is controlled by the dielectric relaxation of ice.
