Geophysics is the study of the Earth’s physics and structure using mathematical and physical methods.
In the Geophysics Research Group, we use geophysical data and methods for mapping and understanding processes shaping the Earth. 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.
