Georesources Switzerland Group
The Georesources Switzerland Group conducts applied research in close collaboration with the Swiss Geological Survey (Federal Office of Topography swisstopo) as well as with different industry partners.
The group collects and compiles fundamental geological data and data related to the use of the geological resources of Switzerland. Focus areas are the mineral resources of Switzerland, energy resources from the deep underground (geothermal energy and hydrocarbons) as well as secondary resources and geological questions related to the use of georesources and the underground in general.
The Georesources Switzerland Group was founded in July 2018. It succeeds the Swiss Geotechnical Commission (SGTK) and incorporates the latter's office at the Department of Earth Sciences at ETH Zurich.
The group is led by Dr. Stefan Heuberger.
