Ten years of earthquake research underground

Ten years of earthquake research underground

Carinthia is also a geological view of the border area. From Lesachtal in the west to the Jauntal in the east, the periadriatic seam stretches. A fault line in the rock that was formed in the course of Earth's history. Since 2014, research has been conducted in the obiro caves. The goal is the earthquake prediction. 
The pal.Idriatic seam stretches from west to east throughout the Alps, from Piedmont in Italy to the north-east of Croatia. In some cases, it is only recognizable by geologists, but in some areas it is also visible, for example in the obircad caves near Bad Eisenkappel. Ivo Baron is a geologist at the Czech Academy of Sciences and, with his research team in the rock fracture line, installed measuring instruments in the obircave to record these movements in the rock. It is a globally unique research project: “Our group is the only one in the world that can make three-dimensional measurements in the microometric field of disturbances.”
