We employ applied geophysical methods to explore and solve problems in the field of groundwater resources, geohazards and georeservoirs as source and storage components for energy supply. The focus of our research is the exploration of the shallow and accessible subsurface and the development of the respective investigation techniques. The institute has more than 75 years of experience in applied geophysical research. Our years of specialization in near-surface geophysical applications, our spectrum of novel equipment and data infrastructure, as well as our resulting expertise in combining diverse geophysical methods characterize LIAG as a unique research institution in Germany.
