A new semi-quantitative approach is consequently proposed to readily differentiate between different apparent resistivity populations, where two-dimensional (2D) semi-quantitative interpretation and a preliminary geological analysis could be constructed. The new technique is applied and tested on a case study from the Khanasser Valley region, Northern Syria, where different selected profiles (LP1, LP2, LP3, and TP5) are interpreted. The suitability and feasibility of the proposed approach are confirmed and approved through different comparisons between the multi-fractal established cross-sections and the traditional one-dimensional (1D) VES interpretation models. It is recommended to routinely use this new proposed fractal approach in geoelectrical research for interpreting VES measurements distributed along a given profile.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Se propone una nueva técnica de modelado fractal, adaptando el modelo de concentración-número (C-N, según sus siglas en inglés) y el concepto de puntos de ruptura de umbral para interpretar las medidas de sondeo eléctrico vertical (VES, según sus siglas en inglés) distribuidas a lo largo de un perfil dado. En consecuencia, se propone un enfoque semicuantitativo para diferenciar fácilmente entre diversas poblaciones de resistividad aparente, donde se podría construir una interpretación semicuantitativa bidimensional (2D) y un análisis geológico preliminar. La nueva técnica se aplicó en un estudio de caso de la región del valle de Khanasser, norte de Siria, donde se interpretaron diferentes perfiles (LP1, LP2, LP3 y TP5). La idoneidad y viabilidad del enfoque propuesto se confirman y aprueban a través de diferentes comparaciones entre las secciones transversales establecidas de múltiples fractales y los modelos de interpretación VES unidimensionales (1D) tradicionales. Se recomienda utilizar de forma rutinaria este nuevo enfoque fractal propuesto en la investigación geoeléctrica para interpretar las mediciones de VES distribuidas a lo largo de un perfil determinado.]]></p></abstract>
