Capabilities

LaMoGe combines experimental infrastructure, data processing and computational resources to address complex geological problems with methodological consistency.

Experimental infrastructure

Analogue modelling experimental platform

Experimental infrastructure for reproducing tectonic geometries and deformational processes through physical models, with visual acquisition and high-resolution geometric analysis.

Physical simulation of deformation processes and tectonic evolution.

Data and software

Processing and visualisation environment

Set of tools for geospatial analysis, modelling, scripting and scientific visualisation.

Data integration, quantitative analysis and production of figures and animations.

Computational resources

Computing capabilities

Capacity to run simulations, process velocity fields, compare analogue and numerical models and automate structural-analysis workflows.

Running simulations, processing datasets and automating workflows.

G

Structural geometry prediction

Reconstruction of the spatial, temporal and thermal evolution of complex structures not fully resolved by geophysical exploration.

F

Fracture prediction

Development of methods to identify areas with higher probability of natural fracturing and estimate fracture intensity in conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

S

Structural sweet spots and stress fields

Integration of well breakouts, stress distribution and tension zones to understand shale reservoirs and optimise development scenarios.

M

Structure-magmatism interaction

Experimental and conceptual study of dykes, intrusions, magma mobility and their relation to crustal structural architecture.
