Yves Vanbrabant is a senior geologist at the Geological Survey of Belgium since 2004. He is specialized in Structural Geology and Geodynamic and the subject of his PhD (University of Liège, Belgium) was focused on the Geodynamic evolution of the Eastern part of the Ardenne during Variscan Orogeny. His main role at the GSB since 2004 is that of project leader and in 2015 he has also taken over the direction of the Survey. His main research and service activities at GSB involve the sustainable management of raw materials and different projects related to the development of geothermal energy in Belgium. Some of these activities are conducted in collaboration with regional authorities. Yves Vanbrabant is also extensively involved in different EU projects (AEGOS, BruGeoTherMap, GeoERA, UNEXMIN, CHPM2030, DGE-ROLLOUT).
