Fig. 14. Summary plot of all the data sets presented in Table 1, showing consistent adherence to the predicted behavior. For all data sets, water content ({theta}) was normalized by subtracting its critical value ({theta}c), and electrical conductivity ({sigma}) was normalized by subtracting the solid-phase contribution ({sigma}s), then dividing by {sigma}0 (the prefactor from Eq. [5]) to account for brine activity. Data follow the line given by the universal conductivity exponent µ.
