DEEP CITY Verbier
Understanding water resources for better management CREALP is involved in applying the Deep City method (Parriaux et al. 2010) to the Verbier region on behalf of the Val de Bagnes municipality. This method was developed based on the observation that, on a commune scale, underground space is limited and a source of both conflicts (of use) and synergies (geomaterials). This approach aims to popularize and map complex geological complexes in order to… Read More
Quaternary deposits
Exploiting and developing quaternary data from the Rhône Valley – Multiple challenges 90% of Switzerland’s land use takes place in the near subsoil, the site of Quaternary deposits. Consisting mainly of loose rock, these soils provide a variety of raw materials (water, mineral raw materials, geothermal energy). Their geological nature also determines certain soil properties that are important for the exploitation of natural resources (hydrogeology, geothermal energy), for the construction of structures,… Read More
