<p>The embodiments are directed to systems and methods for determining in-situ microorganisms in a solid matrix including sediments and rocks. The methods include collecting data such as, effective measured complex dielectric constant, propagation and attenuation time of an electromagnetic wave and porosity, using a multi-frequency impedance spectrometer, an electromagnetic propagation device and a density device. The method further includes calculating and comparing an effective complex dielectric constant with the measured complex dielectric constant and determining a cell concentration of the micro-organisms.</p> |
