Recent Projects
The two years project SaltTecDEM, funded by Statoil ASA, will explore the growth of salt swells and resulting overburden deformation by means of Distinct Element Method (DEM) modelling.
The research project focuses on seismic mapping of Upper Palaeozoic faults in Nagra’s 3D-seismic block NL-16 covering the siting region ‘Nördlich Lägern’. The interpretation of the seismic data leads to a better understanding of the regional tectono-stratigraphic history and aids the risk-assessment of fault zones adjacent to the potential deep geological repository.
