Another challenging task is the planning, installation and initial operation of electrode arrays in boreholes. </p></div></div></article><article class="cemenu-item"><div class="cemenu-item__image"><a href="/en/section/remote-sensing-and-geoinformatics/infrastructure/spectroscopy-laboratory" aria-label="Spectroscopy Laboratory"><picture><source media="(min-width: 0px)" type="image/webp" srcset="/fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_d767872ff3.webp 1x, /fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_b8296d4d72.webp 2x" /><source media="(min-width: 0px)" type="image/jpeg" srcset="/fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_53d75d5bd9.jpeg 1x, /fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_b8b75049ad.jpeg 2x" /><img src="/fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_53d75d5bd9.jpeg" srcset="/fileadmin/_processed_/6/9/csm_spektrallabor_collage_53d75d5bd9.jpeg 1w" sizes=" 270px" title="" alt="" class="tile-img-top img-fluid " loading="lazy" width="270" height="170" /></picture></a></div><div class="cemenu-item__content"><h3 class="cemenu-item__title"><a href="/en/section/remote-sensing-and-geoinformatics/infrastructure/spectroscopy-laboratory"> Spectroscopy Laboratory </a></h3><div class="cemenu-item__abstract"><p>The Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics Section has a well equipped spectral laboratory.
