What is LaMoGe?
An academic platform for geological modelling, tectonics and structural analysis.
LaMoGe is a research laboratory articulated across IDEAN, UBA and CONICET. It combines field observations, analogue modelling, numerical simulation and quantitative analysis to study complex geological systems, train researchers and sustain a high-level scientific agenda.
- Consolidated academic and institutional trajectory
- Interdisciplinary work across research, teaching and methodological support
- Regional and international projection on complex geological problems

Capabilities
Experimental, methodological and computational capabilities
The institutional platform summarises the laboratory’s infrastructure, analysis resources and applied capabilities for research, services and external collaboration.
Analogue modelling experimental platform
Experimental infrastructure for reproducing tectonic geometries and deformational processes through physical models, with visual acquisition and high-resolution geometric analysis.
Processing and visualisation environment
Set of tools for geospatial analysis, modelling, scripting and scientific visualisation.
Computing capabilities
Capacity to run simulations, process velocity fields, compare analogue and numerical models and automate structural-analysis workflows.
Structural geometry prediction
Reconstruction of the spatial, temporal and thermal evolution of complex structures not fully resolved by geophysical exploration.
Fracture prediction
Development of methods to identify areas with higher probability of natural fracturing and estimate fracture intensity in conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
Structural sweet spots and stress fields
Integration of well breakouts, stress distribution and tension zones to understand shale reservoirs and optimise development scenarios.
