Geophysical Methods of Deep Investigation

Main activity is the geophysical research in many fields: gravimetry, magnetometry, electrical prospecting, topo-hydrography.

Gravity and magnetic mapping of the Romanian Black Sea continental shelf and other marine areas, including the land – sea transition zone;
Geological interpretation of geophysical data by 2D and 3D modeling;
Environmental and engineering geophysics;
Archaeogeophysics;
Topodydrography – for the enhancement of hydrotehnic works and electronic navigation maps;
Geophysical data bases and GIS applications;
Coordination of research projects for CO2 Capture and Geological Storage, as engineering method to diminish greenhouse gas fluxes with climate change effects.
