Geophysics and Geology of the Subsurface


The Group of Geophysics and Geology of the Subsoil (GEOFSUB) carries out research and development work in the field of geophysical exploration of the subsoil and 3D modeling of geological structures and formations. The GEOFSUB research group promotes its own research projects and, in addition, supports and offers an expert service in all the activities of the IGME, both as a national Geological Service and as a Public Research Organization. The current GEOFSUB research group is constituted by 21 members from the former Geophysics and Remote Sensing Area and Subsurface Geology and 3D Geological Modelling Area. Its differentiating element is the extensive geological knowledge and geophysical techniques, which allows the optimal characterization of the subsoil.
