Studying active faults is important for various applications, such as seismic hazard assessment and understanding dynamic fault deformation processes related to underground storage of waste materials, including CO₂, H₂, and nuclear waste. Fault architecture and properties can be investigated through outcrop studies using in-situ measurements, as well as by applying drone imagery techniques to gather data from inaccessible parts of the outcrops.
This Master’s thesis is based on existing data from unique outcrops in southern Spain and may also involve additional fieldwork. Therefore, it is important that the student is able to participate in fieldwork and analyze different kinds of data, both those measured directly on the outcrops and those extracted from drone images through supervised interpretation.
