DETERMINATION OF UPPER LAYER THICKNESS & RESISTIVITIES FROM 1/(2pR) Vs DEPTH GRAPH
(Refer to SWP for direction)

Upper layer thickness from average curve (where the slope changes) 10 m

Best fit points of upper layer at 1m Average 1/(2pR) value = 1.0000000

9m Average 1/(2pR) value = 0.4350701
Upper layer resistivity= -14.16 ohm-m

Best fit points of lower layer at 1m Average 1/(2pR) value = 1.0000000

1m Average 1/(2pR) value = 1.0000000
Lower layer resistivity= #DIV/0! ohm-m
