Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
Georadar: Determination of sediment thicknesses, ice thicknesses (glaciers), layer boundaries, exploration of permafrost in loose rocks, detection of archaeological sites (e.g. walls, roads), as well as pipes in the underground.
Object sounding, e.g. of avalanche victims.
Seismics: Differentiation of different soil layers (e.g. clay, sand, gravel, solid rock), determination of sediment thicknesses, exploration of permafrost in solid rocks and loose rocks, exploration of fracture systems in solid rocks, determination of valley fillings and exploration of geological basin structures.
Geoelectrics: Determination of soil moisture, exploration of permafrost in rock and loose rock, detection and demarcation of groundwater bodies and determination of sediment fillings.
