Geology plays an important role in daily life from a national scale to the micro scale. The Swiss Geological Survey at swisstopo has great expertise in producing high quality geological maps and data sets in the world unique scale of 1:25’000. 2D-datasets, boreholes and seismic lines serve to get state of the art knowledge of the underground, while at the Mont Terri underground rock laboratory they study rock properties of a clay stone from tunnel scale down to the nanoscale. Design of nuclear waste repositories, shale gas exploration as well as CO2 storage projects will be benefitted by this unique expertise for years into the future.
