We cordially welcome Loïc Pierdona as our new team member as of 1 January 2019. Loïc just completed his MSc in Geology at the University of Geneva. He will work on our new project “heat flow in Swiss North-Alpine Foreland Basin” producing an updated, harmonised temperature dataset and a new near-surface heat flow map. Parts of the project are in collaboration with the Geothermal Energy and Geofluids group of Prof. Martin Saar.
Three colleagues have left our team by the end of 2018. We say goodbye to Margrit Oertle-Mock, our assistant and secretary, after almost 30 years of work at the Swiss Geotechnical Commission (SGTK) and then at the Fachgruppe Georessourcen Schweiz offices. Thanks very much Margrit!
We also say goodbye to Arsin Grünig, our IT and geodatabase expert, and to Gregor Zographos, who was mainly responsible for the finalisation of the “Stein und Wein” monograph. Thanks Arsin and Gregor for your valued contributions to our team!
