Furthermore, sustainable flood protection, geophysical investigation methods, the determination of petro- and pedophysical parameters, as well as their large- and small-dimensional interpretation and representation using GI systems, among other things, are focal points of the research activity.Ĭontact: Dr. The research spectrum of the near-surface geothermal energy working group covers the large topic area of shallow, earth-coupled geothermal systems, which can be investigated on a university-owned test field under various real conditions. The Geothermics/Geoenergy Section also hosts the new Master’s degree programme GeoThermics/GeoEnergy and is an essential part of the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria. The Geothermal/Geoenergy Section of the Chair of Geology deals with all geoscientific topics within geoenergies, such as geothermal energy, hydrocarbon reservoirs, underground storage, etc. The studies should lead to an understanding of the relationships between tectonics, climate and sedimentation processes, the influence of sedimentary processes on lithological facies, diagenesis and the resulting geomechanical properties of the rocks.Ĭontact: Prof Dr. The research activities include provenance analyses and the reconstruction of the palaeogeography and achitecture of sedimentary basins.
