This structure gives the Institute the needed interdisciplinarity to achieve our goals.<\/p>\n<p>The Research Groups which make up the Geomodels Research Institute are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GGAC <\/strong><em>(Grup de Geodi\u00e0mica i An\u00e0lisi de Conques)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>RISKNAT <\/strong><em>(Grup de Riscos Naturals)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>GGS <\/strong><em>(Grup de Geologia Sediment\u00e0ria)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>WHAT WE DO<\/h3>\n<p>The main goal of the <strong>GEOMODELS Research Institute<\/strong> is the development and incorporation of new technologies to the Earth Sciences research area. More specifically, create new modelling techniques to characterize and correctly understand geological systems in terms of: generation, placement and quality of geologic resources and reservoirs; the geo-mechanical terrain behaviour; and natural hazards and their impact on the surface.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>multidisciplinary<\/strong> team has been established aiming to model geological processes in order to improve their quantification and the prediction of related phenomena in space and time. More specifically, we are dealing with 3D characterization of geological bodies, the numerical simulation of processes within these bodies and the use of the resultant 3D models to tackle hazard scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>The GEOMODELS Research Institute is a multidisciplinary research centre assembling geological and engineering methodologies. The results are scientific (improve the knowledge and characterization of geological processes) and technologic (develop new methodologies and modelling tools).<\/p>\n<h3>Services<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Courses and Field Trips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Course on 3D reconstruction and modelling of geological structures<\/li>\n<li>Course on numerical modelling of deformation and sedimentary processes<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Geological Mapping<\/li>\n<li>Thematic Field Trips (Pyrenees, Ebro Basin, Catalan Coastal Ranges, Iberian Range)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Infrastructures<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Analogue Modelling Laboratory<\/li>\n<li>Paleomagnetic Laboratory (CCiT UB- ICTJA CSIC)<\/li>\n<li>LIDAR Laser Sacan<\/li>\n<li>Hexacopter Drone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Software<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comercial software with academic agreement or for research purposes<\/li>\n<li>In-house software for: 3D\/4D reconstruction; Fracture analysis and reconstruction; and for sedimentary and deformation processes<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Teaching<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teaching given by members of the Research Institute at undergraduate and graduate lavels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>FOR WHOM WE WORK<\/h3>\n<h3>Industry Sectors<\/h3>\n<p>Hidrocarbon, Environmental and heritage management, Territorial planning, Geological warehouse<\/p>\n<h3>Customers<\/h3>\n<p>Atalaya Riotinto Minera, S.L.U., Cairn Energy, Capricorn Spain Ltd, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique CNRS, Cepsa, CNPC, Ciuden, ConocoPhilips Company, Ecopetrol, Enel Trade, Endesa, ExxonMobil, Federal Department of Foreign Affaris FDFA, GAIA Geotermia y aguas minerales, S.L., Geof\u00edsica Aplicada Consultores, S.L., Geognosia, S.L., Geoma Cen, S.L.,\u00a0 Iberdrola Ingenier\u00eda y Construcci\u00f3n S.A., Iberpotash S.A., Institut Cartogr\u00e0fic i Geol\u00f2gic de Catalunya, Inypsa, NIOC, OMV, Petroleum Oil &amp; Gas Espa\u00f1a, S.A., Repsol, Shell, Statoil, Total, Universite de Cergy-Pontoise, University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), UTE L\u00ednea 9.<\/p>\n<h3>RESEARCH<\/h3>\n<h3>Research lines<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Numerical Modelling of sedimentary and deformation processes<\/li>\n<li>Analogue Modelling of geologic structures<\/li>\n<li>High-resolution terrain modelling<\/li>\n<li>Paleomagnetism<\/li>\n<li>Analysis and incorporation of geophysical data (EXES-UB)<\/li>\n<li>Dynamics and evolution of landslides<\/li>\n<li>3D\/4D reconstruction and modelling of geological structures<\/li>\n<li>Study and implementation of case studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Research Projects<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Structural modelling of hydrocarbon plays in the Northern Calcareous Alps within the Vienna Basin: comparison of the Sch\u00f6nkirchen \u00dcbertief fields with outcrop analogues along the Jurassic Syncline Trend (K\u00f6nigsberg and Oisberg).<br \/>\nOMV Exploration and Production GmbH.\u00a0FBG308985. 2017 &#8211; 2019<br \/>\nJosep Anton Mu\u00f1oz de la Fuente<\/li>\n<li>Salt Tectonics in Convergent-Margin Fold and Thurst Belts<br \/>\nConocoPhillips Company.\u00a0FBG308983.\u00a02016 &#8211; 2018<br \/>\nJosep Anton Mu\u00f1oz de la Fuente<\/li>\n<li>Fase New Data Collection Analyses (NDCA) para el proyecto Actualizaci\u00f3n de la Caracterizaci\u00f3n S\u00edsmica de las Centrales Nucleares Espa\u00f1olas: CN Asc\u00f3, CN Vandell\u00f3s y CN Cofrentes Iberdrola Ingenier\u00eda y Construcci\u00f3n S.A.
