GeORG 3D Geological Model — Rittershoffen
Description
The objective of the GeORG project (Geopotentials of the deep Upper Rhine Graben) was to create a 3D model of the geological structure of the Upper Rhine Graben down to several kilometers depth. It provides a comprehensive information base (thickness/depth maps, temperature maps, and geological cross-sections that can be generated across the entire area).
The BRGM distributes the French part of this 3D geological model via its Cupidon repository.
We cut out this model around the Rittershoffen site with a radius of approximately 10 km.
Modeled lithological interfaces:
010_blg : Base of the Plio-Quaternary
040_bff : Base of the Froidefontaine Formation
050_bt :Base of the Tertiary
090_bju : Base of the Lias
100_bku : Base of the Keuper
110_tms : Top of the Saliferous Muschelkalk
120_bmu : Base of the Muschelkalk
130_btr : Base of the Triassic
170_kr :Top of the Hercynian
600_salt_diapirs : Salt diapirs
faults_fr_s03: fault
