Furthermore, investigations at greater depths are influenced by increasing temperatures. Therefore, understanding the temperature-dependence of SIP is fundamental for many applications. Laboratory measurements and model calculations can give us some insight to the influence of temperature changes on experimental results. The membrane polarization model as described by Bücker and Hördt (2013), which is based on the model of Marshall and Madden (1959), simplifies the pore space as a sequence of wide and narrow pores. The temperature dependence of the complex electrical resistivity is controlled by several parameters, like ion mobility and Debye length. Calculations with different pore sizes and ion concentrations show that the temperature dependence of the phase shift changes with varying pore radii and salinity and it slightly changes with varying pore lengths. We compare the theoretical results with SIP measurements on several sandstones, limestones, and argillite at a temperature range from 0°C to 60°C. The measured spectra show a qualitatively similar temperature-dependence to the spectra calculated with the model of Bücker and Hördt (2013). Comparing spectra of samples with different pore sizes indicates an influence of the pore radii and/or lengths on the change of the phase shift with temperature.
