PhD Thesis Topic:

3D modeling and simulation of sediment structures in overdeepened alpine basins and implications for hydro (geo) logical modeling

Abstract:

Overdeepened alpine valleys are characterized by complex sedimentary sequences. To obtain quantitative information about distribution of sediment types 3D modeling is essential. Modeling of such complex sedimentary sequences is challenging, mostly because of the sparse sampling and concurrent, highly unpredictable lateral extensions of associated sedimentary units. In this study stochastic simulation approaches, i.e. Sequential Indicator Simulation and Multiple Point Geostatistics will be used to simulate multiple equiprobable realizations of the three -dimensional distribution of sedimentary units. The different spatial subsurface realizations of the three -dimensional distribution of sedimentary units. The different spatial subsurface realizations are then used as input into groundwater flow models. A hydrogeologic response simulation will be performed for each realization. The results will then be compared to assess the uncertainty of the different realizations.
