Making European underground data accessible for everyone

About the research

"I'm going deeper underground" 🎵 The lyrics of Jamiroquai's famous hit may well apply to Renata Barros (RBINS). As a geologist, she knows how precious the underground is in providing essential minerals for modern-day technology, drinking water, etc. But much like the subsurface itself, data generated from underground studies, is often difficult to access. Through the Geoconnect3d project, Renata & her colleagues bring all the information from such studies all over Europe together in an accessible knowledge system. In this way, she wants to give decision-makers the right tools to develop policies for the safe and sustainable use of our underground treasures.
