The electrical conductivity of unfrozen soils decreases slightly with a decrease in temperature. A significant decrease in conductivity occurs when a soil freezes, but this change is directly related to the decreasing unfrozen water content of the frozen ground, and it may be affected by cryostructure. Available data show that the conductivities of frozen ground may be from 1 to more than 2 orders of magnitude smaller than those of the same material when unfrozen. The conductivity of frozen soils decreases further with further decreases in temperature.
