The magma from the La Palma eruption helps predict the end of an eruption

Go to news
The magmatic system evolves throughout the eruption, and its study can provide information on the different eruptive phases. A mixed team in which the UCM, the URJC and the IGME participate apply laser chemical analysis techniques to samples from the Canary Island volcano that allow greater precision than conventional ones

IGME Memory 2022

Go to news
El año 2022 ha sido un año tremendamente activo en el IGME, se ha llevado a cabo un trabajo muy intenso desde todos los ámbitos y el resultado es esta memoria. Durante el año 2022, han pasado muchas cosas en el IGME. La integración en el CSIC fue avanzando desde el inicio del año, con la integración eco-nómica y a lo largo de todo el año con la consolidación del nuevo organigrama del Centro Nacional. La Secretaría Gene-ral, encabezada por Luis Carreras, pasó a mediados de año a Gerencia, puesto ...

CEEGS Project

CO2 storage in geological formations and geothermal heat extraction. CEEGS follows a 3-phase approach: i) From theoretical principles to models, simulations and processes in which advanced numerical simulations integrate reservoir behaviour, wellbore design and surface plant design; ii) From models and simulations to systems/experimental verification addressing CEEGS integration and efficiency in energy systems, with digital functional and laboratory models developed and components validated wit...

PILOTSTRATEGY Project

Focus on advancing understanding of deep saline aquifer (DSA) resources for geological CO2 storage in five European industrial regions in the South and East. PilotSTRATEGY will investigate DSA in detail in three regions of Southern Europe: Paris Basin (France), Lusitanian Basin (Portugal) and Ebro Basin (Spain). This will include acquisition of new data, detailed geo-characterisation, feasibility studies and preliminary design or pre-front end engineering and design studies. At the end of the pr...

STRATEGY CCUS Project

The project will study the capture, utilization and storage of CO2 in 8 regions with strategic elements: industrial groups, possible storage of CO2, possible use of CO2 and options for production and use of H2. Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a range of technologies, which can capture the large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) currently emitted to the atmosphere by industrial processes and power generation. The CO2 will be stored permanently in deep geological formations or used...

IMAGYN project

High-resolution imaging of the crustal-scale structure of the Central Pyrenees and role of Variscan inheritance on its geodynamic evolution. The main objective of the IMAGYN project is to obtain a high-resolution image of the crustal structure of the Central Pyrenees through the integration of geological and geophysical data obtained from several methods. This image is necessary to analyze the role played by Variscan structures and the petrophysical and structural heterogeneity in the geodynamic...
