Sustainable subsurface
Within TNO, the Geological Survey of the Netherlands is organised as a knowledge centre of the subsurface. With state-of-the-art public information, research and technology, we contribute to a sustainable Netherlands.
Geological Survey of the Netherlands: sustainable use of the subsurface
With our information provision, research, and technology, we contribute to a sustainable subsurface. Take a look at the projects we’re working on. Or read more about the Geological Survey of the Netherlands at TNO.
Our latest developments
Subsidence in The Netherlands
What processes cause subsidence? What is the level of subsidence? And how can we predict the amount of subsidence yet to come?
Geo data and IT
Geo data and IT makes data sets of subsurface information digitally accessible, for plan development, policymaking, and scientific research, among other aims.
Geomodelling
We develop models of the soil composition in the Netherlands. The Geomodelling expertise group focuses on these models to predict subsidence.
Applied geosciences
The Applied Geosciences expertise group combines knowledge and experience related to the use of sustainable energy sources, such as geothermal energy.
Advisory group for Economic Affairs
TNO’s Advisory Group for Economic Affairs (TNO AGE) provides scientific insight and advice on using the deep subsurface responsibly and efficiently.
