Reflection seismic (Conventional, Sparker and Chirp) and wireline logging used in geology and maritime archeology.

Geological evolution of: NE- Atlantic; off-shore Faroe Islands; off-shore Vietnam; on-shore Denmark; off-shore near coast and lakes in Denmark; Deep and shallow geothermal energy; Quartarnary; Glaciakl tectonics; Deep water current regime off-shore Fareo region and inner Danish waters; Geological evolution off-shore Faroe Islands and Vietnam;

Maritim archeology: Location of stoneage settlements; Shipwrecks below the sea-floor 

Present activities: Structural evolution of the off-shore Faore region, basalt investigation by seismic and wireline log; deep water currents in the off-shore Faroe region; Quartarnary evolution Denmark based on seismic; Geoloogical evolution of on-shore Denmark; Location of stoneage settlements and shipwrecks below the sea-floor
