Research Project: Seismik NordOst 

Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy, 2016-2019

Cooperative project with Fraunhofer IWES on efficiency and quality improvement for the subsoil investigation for offshore wind farms on the basis of optimized seismic measurement methods. The University of Bremen runs a sub-project on the technical details of the impact of seismic sources and processing techniques on the quality of imaging and interpretation. 

Role: 

Project Leader, Scientific Advisor and Partner in data acquisition/interpretation

Offshore Wind Farms North Sea 2019

Fraunhofer IWES and BSH

Contractual work to process and interpret vintage airgun seismic data from a wind farm area in the North Sea fulfilling the advanced BSH standards for data quality for processing and interpretation

Role:              Project Leader for UBC MariSARS

Offshore Wind Farm "Arkona Becken Südost", Baltic Sea

E.ON Climate and Renewable GmbH, 2014-2018

In the ABSE wind farm, E.On Renewables had been supported by technical and strategic advice on optimized survey strategies, quality assurance and uncertainty evaluation to determine and minimize the risk on shifting OWT locations away from ground truthing CPT and borehole data. The approach was development to use multichannel seismic data for establishment of a 3D subsoil model. The project led to BSH approval without additional drilling/CPT work. Several Alkor cruises were carried out and led to support the windfarm development.
