metadata.value: Vertical electrical resistivity sounding (VERS) of soil-permafrost strata has been
  performed during the field work within the sea terraces of Gronfjord (Svalbard
  archipelago, West Spitsbergen island). Vertical electrical resistivity sounding of soilpermafrost
  strata was performed by portable device LandMapper. Then these data have
  been analyzed via ZondIP software (1d model). Apparent electrical resistivity values on
  the soil-permafrost strata usually change rapidly. It was established that studied soils
  with different origin and morphological properties are referred to 2 trunks, 2 orders, 4
  types and 7 subtypes. Histic Gleysols, Cryosols, Gleysols and their subtypes have been
  investigated within the key plots (Grendasselva, Aldegonda rivers and catena on the sea
  terrace in surroundings of Barentsburg aerodrome). Several trends in profile distribution
  of electrical resistivity values have been distinguished. The main is connected with
  monotonous increasing of electrical resistivity values with a depth. Values of apparent
  electrical resistivity increase rapidly on the border of active layer-permafrost layer. The
  contrasts in profile distribution of electrical resistivity values are caused mainly by
  differences in water content, texture class and degree of strata heterogeneity (due to
  cryogenic processes). The depths of active layer-permafrost boundary have been
  distinguished using ZondIP software. Regional differences in this indicator may be
  explained not only by local differences in thermal regime of soil and permafrost layers,
  but also by different character of anthropogenic influence on key plots. Vertical
  electrical resistivity sounding method provides significant information for understanding
  soil electrical properties without any mechanical disturbances of soil cover. The data
  obtained is clearly coincided with field work data on soil morphology
