Description: In-situ resistivity data obtained using a hydrostatic profile tool are compared with resistivity measurements obtained from soil and water samples in the laboratory. Resistivity was then compared with porosity measurements to demonstrate that Archie's law can be used in natural soft clay deposits. Archie's law is then used to convert in-situ bulk conductivity measurements made with a hydrostatic profile tool to po-rosity. Porosities estimated using the hydrostatic profile tool were found to be similar to the measured porosi-ties.
