! ! ! DAMAST in Corona Crisis ! ! !

Despite the Corona crisis most of the on-site activities, such as building of stations or drilling of wells have been completed with ca. half a year of delay. Thanks to all colleagues and partners. We are in permanent contact with our Georgian partners and prepare to finalize the remaining installations and of course also pursue the other activities such as modelling and analysis of the already compiled data.

Next steps / Upcoming activities:

Drilling and logging (postponed due to Corona)

March 26/27 2020 Course at KTB Drillsite Windisch-Eschenbach for PhD-Students for core orientation, core description etc.

March 30 – April 1 2020 Course: Spatial Models for Categorical Data in Earth Science. Topics:

  • review established geostatistical approaches
  • present state-of-the-art geometric 3D geological modelling concepts
  • introduce a set of modern tools for considering uncertainties in spatial predictions of categorical data
  • describe concepts from information theory and the link to the analysis of uncertainties in these data sets; and
  • discuss modelling and visualisation of uncertainties of categorical spatial data

Set-up of numerical models:

  • 3D regional structural model (Rhino)
  • 3D regional FE-model (Hypermesh)
  • Geomechanical characterisation of the Enguri including real geometry and stress data (Abaqus)
  • 2D model for stresses around the power tunnel (Abaqus)
