The article offers information on a big project planned in the shallow waters of the North Sea, involving the construction of an Energy Island to gather electricity from surrounding offshore wind farms. Topics include the need for an advanced understanding of the shallow and deep subsurface geology to prevent ground movement risks, and the use of seismic and geotechnical data integration to optimize borehole locations and understand geotechnical parameters.
