Project description:
In order to reach a new level of high-frequency, near source, and multi-parameter observation of earthquake swarms and related phenomena, the Eger laboratory will comprise of a high-frequency 3D seismic array with a set of four shallow boreholes (S1-S4), combined with modern continuous real-time fluid monitoring at depth (F1-F3) and the study of deep biosphere. A final 200 m deep borehole will be drilled into the Neualbenreuth Maar (P1).
