Seismic Imaging and Monitoring at GEUS
We offer the full range of solutions from survey design to geological interpretation for applications such as CO₂ storage, geothermal energy, mineral exploration, geohazards and groundwater management.
Services
Land seismic studies
High-resolution seismic imaging of subsurface structures, combined with geological interpretation, is essential for applications such as CO₂ storage and geothermal energy.
Earthquake monitoring
Observation of both natural and induced earthquakes are important for many uses of the subsurface.
Marine seismic studies
Marine seismic data acquisition is the tool of choice to obtain detailed images of subsurface structure including physical properties in offshore areas.

Previous studies
Imaging the glaciotectonic complex at Møn, Denmark
In May 2025 we did active and passive seismic acquisition at Møn, Denmark, to image the impressive glaciotectonic complex which raises up to 128 above sea level along the coast.
Vibroseis at Lesbos, Greece
In October 2024, the Seismic imaging and monitoring group provided the vibroseis source for 25 km 2D profiles for an evaluation of the potential for geothermal energy in the island of Lesbos.
Test of land seismic equipment at Stenlille, Denmark
Upon receipt of new land seismic equipment in 2024, we did a small 2D seismic acquisition to evaluate the data quality and processing results.
Marine seismic acqusitions
In the Baltic Sea, west of Svalbard, in the fjords of Greenland, the North Sea and in the marine gap between Sjælland and Nekselø.
Earthquake monitoring at Stenlille
Monitoring for micro earthquakes at the Stenlille underground gas storage facility, Denmark.
Research output
The work offered by the Seismic imaging and monitoring group at GEUS is based on extensive scientific knowledge and innovation.
