Analog Modeling Laboratory
Contact: Sara Carena
The lab is equipped with several sandboxes for both extensional and compressional experiments, a variety of analog materials, and photographic/video equipment to document experiments. It is used for both Bachelor and Master courses as well as for thesis projects.
Examples of sandbox models
All models in the videos were made by former geology B.Sc. and M.Sc. student Florian Hofmann, and the experiments carried out in the analog lab: videos of different types of experiments (extension, compression, different materials).
