The EMR Group forms part of the Department of Geosciences & Geography in the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. The School of Geosciences with its stream in EMR, Eon ERC / Applied Geophysics , Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology and Geomaterials (GeoMat) is the largest university-based Geoscience Group committed to Resources Research in Germany. The EMR Group is further integrated with the Network of Environmental Geochemistry Laboratories Aachen.
The EMR Group offers a wide range of applied research covering basin modeling, carbonate sedimentology, diagenesis, discontinuities (faults, fractures, veins), geomechanics, geochemistry, interface mineralogy, mineral deposits, petrology, petrophysics, salt, seismic interpretation, sequence stratigraphy as well as unconventionals & new technologies.

received
at the annual meeting
of the
"American
Association of Petroleum
Geologists
'
(
AAPG
),
the
highest
scientific honor
,
the
"
Sidney
Powers
Award ".
AAPG
is with around

geoscience
organizations. The
eulogy
says "
...
the
understanding of dynamic
earth processes
(
geoprocesses
)
,
and
not only
the detection of the
static
end result
was the main
research objective
of
Dietrich
Welte
.
His pioneering
scientific
publications
are
classics.
"
Congratulations!
