The electrical resistivity of unfrozen soils increases slightly with a decrease in temperature. A significant increase in resistivity 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 resistivities of frozen ground may be from 10 to more than 100 times larger than those of the same material when unfrozen. The resistivity of frozen soils increases further with further decreases in temperature.
