We develop new methods for acquisition and processing of geophysical data for exploration and environmental applications.
We apply state of the art numerical methods to study convection in the interiors of Earth and other terrestrial planets and moons.
We investigate reactive fluid and geothermal energy transfer in the Earth's crust employing computer simulations, laboratory experiments, and field analyses.
We study Earth's dynamics at all timescales by investigating composition, structure, and state of the Earth’s interior.
We use state-of-the-art numerical techniques and modern high-performance computing in order to characterise 3D Earth structure and seismic sources.
We monitor ongoing seismicity in Switzerland and its surroundings, and regularly assesses the seismic hazard in Switzerland.
