TU Delft has carried out research into geological fault lines in the Netherlands, using new satellite techniques. The movement that has been identified in this way is not caused by shifting tectonic plates, however, but is primarily the result of groundwater level variations. Miguel Caro Cuenca has been awarded his PhD for research on this topic on 2 November.
