Postdoc position on DTSS anthropogenic geohazard monitoring
jannes kinscher
Dear Colleagues,
Please find below our current offer for a (18 months) post-doc position on fiber optic DAS and DTSS to underground mining operations and anthropogenic hazard prevention at Ineris in Nancy, France.
All the best
Jannes Kinscher (Ineris)
Title: Postdoctoral position in the field of fiber optic based monitoring applied to anthropogenic geohazard
Position: 18 months Postdoctoral, Open from now on
Laboratory: Ineris joint lab, Campus ARTEM, 92 rue Sergent Blandan, BP 14234, F-54042 Nancy cedex, France, https://www.ineris.fr/en
Keywords: Fiber optic based monitoring, geohazard, anthropogenic, induced seismicity
Objective and content of the Post-doc position
We seek a post-doc to evaluate the potential of optic fiber based Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and Distributed Temperature Strain Sensing (DTSS) in the context of anthropogenic underground exploitation. The evaluation study focus particularly to the application to (deep) excavation mine environments to improve hazard assessment with respect to rock mass stability and rock burst prevention. Sensitivity of the methods will be compared to standard monitoring methods (strain meter, extensometer, microsesimic monitoring) and new insights into the geomechanic rock mass behavior are discussed. Finally, best practices in fiber installation in the field and data acquisition as well as development of the processing routines will be in the focus of the project. A second potential field of application will involve the evaluation of DTSS in the context of ground movement monitoring with potential field applications in solution mining, enhanced geothermal production and/or near fault laboratories.
Profile and required skills
PhD in Geosciences/Geophysics/Physics/Rock mechanics
