The Department of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has a strong project related infrastructure including well equipped laboratories, experimental facilities and field equipment. Prof. Poul L. Bjerg, the Coordinating Director of GEOCON was leader of the DSF funded REMTEC project and has been partner in several EU projects. He is a professor in environmental geochemistry and is internationally recognized in contaminant hydrogeology including groundwater–surface water interaction. He has an outstanding national network including consulting companies, regulators (Regions) and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. Prof. Philip J. Binning has headed a number of research projects including the RiskPoint project funded by DSF. He is an expert in model development and numerical modeling of subsurface processes. Bjerg and Binning have collaborated in several projects related to risk assessment of contaminated sites at various scales.
The Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University (AU) specializes in high-resolution hydrogeophysics including instrument development, high performance computing, data modeling, and integrated interpretation of geophysical and geological data. Prof. Esben Auken heads a large group of hydrogeophysics and has extensive project management experience. He is PI of the HyGEM project and is also WP leader in the CO2-GS and NICA projects, all funded by DSF. He has an extensive national as well as international network. Associate Prof. Anders Vest Christiansen, is an internationally known researcher within data modeling and integrated interpretation of geophysical and geological data. Assistant professor Gianluca Fiandaca has considerable experience in field deployment of DCIP instrumentation and has developed novel data modeling algorithms for DCIP data. Post doc. Joseph Doetsch is a young promising researcher who is an expert in data assimilation.
The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) is an independent research and advisory institution under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Building with great experience in multi scale geological, hydraulic and chemical/microbiological characterization of geological deposits. Geological Data Centre and the Department of Quaternary Geology and Groundwater Mapping have worked in multi scale geological, geophysical characterization of geological deposits and development/maintenance of geological/geophysical databases as well as advanced GIS analysis of digital data. Senior researcher Knud Erik Klint is an international leader in the geological characterization of complex geological settings. Senior researcher Ingelise M. Balling will provide expertise on the use of geo-electrical methods for interpreting complex geological settings. IT-analysist Bjarni Pjetursson will develop interactive Web tools for the project.
