1 Geological 3D-model of the Basel region - a tool to explore geopotentials Dr. Horst Dresmann Prof. Peter Huggenberger Dr. Janis Epting GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 1/24

2 Where are useable geopotentials? GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 2/24

3 We need a tool to handle exploration, rules and planning concepts! GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 3/24

4 GeORG INTERREG IV A project Geological 3D-model of the Basel Region motivation data management input data modelling current stage 3D-surfaces model size 30 km x 20 km x 6 km (depth) detail (size 4 x 4 km) GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 4/24

5 Topics with relevance to geopotentials Geothermal energy (shallow and deep) Traffic infrastructure (tunneling) Technical infrastructure Groundwater management Storage of gas (CO2) Earthquake hazard evaluation Quantitative Microzonation Map In cooperation with the Swiss Seismological survey (SED) or GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 5/24

6 Data management GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 6/24

7 Data management input modeling data GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 7/24

8 Data management modeling in GOCAD GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 8/24

9 data management input modeling data ( ) GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 9/24

10 data management horizon related ArcGIS projects example: base unconsolidated rocks database: new borehole data ArcGIS ArcGIS visualization of relevant input data: borehole data dem geol. maps flow lines GOCAD 3D modelling GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 10/24

11 3D model in GOCAD overview geological context of the 3D model Basel Vosges U R G (Tertiary & Quarternary) folded & Black Forest (variscan basement) Dinkelberg (Triassic & Permian) tabular Jura (mainly Jurassic) Fischer 1969 GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 11/24

12 3D model in GOCAD overview Upper Rhine Graben main border fault Black Forest Dinkelberg Folded Jura Tabular Jura GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 12/24

13 Input data geol. maps (white) borehole data (red: >200m grey: <200m) seismic lines (pink) cross sections (green) dem (yellow) GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 13/24

14 current stage: fault pattern (map view,size: 20 x 30 km) overview geology Rhine GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 14/24

15 current stage: fault pattern (view from SW, size 20 x 30 km x 6 km) overview geology GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 15/24

16 current stage: horizons (view from SW, size 20 x 30 km x 6 km) overview geology GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 16/24

17 current stage: horizons (view from SW, size 20 x 30 km x 6 km) overview geology GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 17/24

18 current stage: faults & horizons (view from SSW) overview geology Upper Rhine Graben base top base Tertiary Trias tabular Jura cristaline basement Allschwil fault zone 0m flexur zone (main border fault) Pre-Mesozoic basement faults (Permo-Carboniferous trough) m m GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 18/24

19 first products: horizon - base unconsolidated rocks (view from S) elevation map masl 800 unconsolidated rocks 200 thickness distribiution thickness 0 unconsolidated rocks GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 19/24 >25

20 first products: horizon - base unconsolidated rocks vs. new data new borehole data: back in Arc GIS comparison between modelled surface and new borehole data GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 20/24

21 Summary - A tool is needed to handle the data and knowledge. - The data management and modelling should be flexible: ~ to handle diverse requests ~ in- & export of data ~ adjustable & extendable ~ resolution & scale ~ open for different kinds of data - The influence of new data should be visible. GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 21/24

22 Outlook - continuation of the 3D-modeling - further development of the data management (e.g. improvement of communication between database, GIS and 3D-modeling) - integration of the urban 3D subsurface (e.g. tunnels, water supply channels, house cellars, sites using thermal energy and more) - studies on the geological evolution of the area (rifting, thrusting, palaeo-geography) GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 22/24

23 Thanks for your attention! masl GeORG technical workshop , Freiburg 23/24
