This study was conducted to determine the lateral and vertical distribution of material resistivity values on Poka alluvial plain using electrodes with Wenner-Schlumberger configuration. Mapping is carried out on 2 lines each 120 m long with the smallest space of 10 m. The results showed that the resistivity of the material ranged from 48.8 Om to 2.247 Om spread laterally with a depth of up to 26.2 m. Loose Sand material occupies the upper layer, followed by the Alluvium and Sand layers in the middle, and Sand and Water which are unconfined aquifers in the lower layer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on rock resistivity and slip surface in the Ambon Volcanic Rock formation has been carried out through geoelectric mapping with the Wenner-Schlumberger configuration in the Kayu Putih area, Ambon City as one of the areas prone to landslides. Measurement of rock resistivity by Mapping was carried out on two tracks each 120 m long and 70 m long intersecting each other. The results showed that the resistivity values of the rocks ranged from 185 Ωm to 4,128 Ωm consisting of Top Soil, Unsaturated Landfill, and Loose Sand as the cover layer followed by Dry Sandy Soil and Gravel, and Breccia Dacite and Tuff at the bottom layer. Breccia Dacite rocks with a resistivity of greater than 2,000 Ωm are found at a depth of 11 - 13 m below the soil surface functioning as slip surface for the sand layer above them. The movement of the soil mass over the slip surface causes cracks in the surface of the road and houses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
