Geoelectric field campaigns for protecting historic buildings

Over the past few weeks, Lukas and Wiebke have been conducting geoelectric measurements with students at various locations in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony to investigate the climate resistance of the underground stability of monuments to increasing groundwater fluctuations. This included field campaigns in Calbe, Druxberge, Gröningen, Gruna, Merseburg and Schönebeck. The aim of the resistivity tomography measurements is to obtain deeper insights into the hydrogeological structure of the subsurface and its water content along various measurement profiles. They are intended to provide a larger-scale understanding into how groundwater fluctuations can influence the land subsidence of the subsoil.
