Geophysics Research Group
In the Geophysics Research Group, we use geophysical data and methods for mapping and understanding processes shaping Earth. This is important for better understanding of natural hazards, energy issues and exploration. In particular, we do research in various aspects related to earthquake seismology, active source seismics, including monitoring of CO₂ storage, and volcano deformation.
About the research group
Geophysical data are invaluable for locating natural resources in the subsurface, mapping the consequences of climate change, monitoring CO2 deposits, and assessing the risk for geohazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides.
The research group is actively involved in numerous projects within earthquake research, geophysical mapping, and the development of algorithms for better imaging of the subsurface.
