Cooperation opportunities
Contract research
It is possible to commission the 3D-US Lab directly in the form of feasibility studies or preliminary and main studies.
Project research
This opportunity includes the prospect of a joint research project, the financing of which can be partially secured through third-party funding.
Licensing
Licensing can be obtained either as a subsequent step after completing a research and development project or through direct licensing of the products.
Network
The network has set itself the goal of establishing 3D underground seismics as a key technology for the safe construction and utilization of underground structures in the market. It aims to make existing seismic measurement instruments more versatile in their applications and expand the seismic measurement portfolio. Statements regarding the position and spatial orientation of geotechnically relevant structures such as faults are the focus of the seismic measurements. In the following areas of application, including borehole environment exploration, tunnel pre-exploration, underground 3D exploration system, detection of fluid-bearing structures and mineral deposits, and exploration of disposal site locations, network partners are conducting various project initiatives. Both sides stand to gain significant added value in terms of knowledge acquisition and development from these projects.
The communication and coordination of these activities are managed through the initiation of an external advisory board (one representative per network partner) and an internal steering board (GFZ working group on Underground Seismics). These boards convene on a semi-annual basis.
