StructuralMG is a structural geology research group based at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. We combine fieldwork, analogue and numerical modelling, drone-based mapping and subsurface interpretation to understand how rocks deform — from salt tectonics and fold-and-thrust belts to the geoscience of the energy transition.
We work across the full workflow of structural geology — from outcrop and mine to physical and numerical model.
Understanding how salt deforms, flows and shapes the crust — from salt tectonics to salt in energy transition.
Scaled physical experiments to discrete and finite-element models to test how structures form and evolve.
Photogrammetry, LiDAR and multi-sensor UAV surveys — including inside mines and other GPS-denied environments.
Seismic interpretation and well-log correlation for structural and petroleum-systems problems.
Our fieldwork and data-based studies span three continents.
We offer services both through the university and as independent sole traders — from analogue modelling and drone mapping to consultancy and training.
Interested in a collaboration, a consultancy project, or training? We'd be glad to hear from you.
