Led by Dr. Antonio P. Rinaldi, this group develops numerical models that link Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical processes. The group’s expertise is essential for understanding natural processes related to earthquakes, as well as for developing forecasting models for induced seismicity. Their work supports experiments in underground laboratories such as the BedrettoLab and Mont Terri Rock Laboratory and the development of forecasting models for induced seismicity. It further consolidates knowledge linked to nuclear waste disposal, geothermal projects, CO2 storage, as well as to the development of physics-based approaches linked to machine learning.
