Georesources Switzerland Group

The Georesources Switzerland Group is part of the Department of Earth Sciences at ETH Zurich and conducts applied research in collaboration with the Swiss Geological Survey (Federal Office of Topography swisstopo) as well as with other partners from industry and administration. We collect and compile fundamental geological data mainly related to the use of the geological resources of Switzerland. Main focus areas are the mineral resources of Switzerland (gravel, sand, clay, limestone, salt, gypsum, natural stone) as well as energy resources and reservoir rocks in the deep underground.
