Young Azerbaijani researcher honored with two prestigious awards at EGU 2025
Baku, December 12, AZERTAC
Sarvar Mammadov, a graduate of the “Geosciences and Geophysical Engineering” bachelor’s program and the “Geosciences” master’s program at the French-Azerbaijani University (UFAZ), has achieved notable success at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2025 General Assembly. His research titled “Permeability of Oolitic Limestones from the Upper Rhine Graben” earned him both the Early Career Scientist Travel Support (ECSTS) and the Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPP).
Sarvar Mammadov is currently pursuing his PhD at the Institut Terre et Environnement de Strasbourg (ITES). He works within the Geophysics and Process Imaging team under the supervision of Professor Patrick Baud. His research focuses on the physical and mechanical properties of porous rocks, applications of digital rock physics, experimental geophysics, and the behavior of geological layers relevant to geothermal energy.
In his award-winning study, Sarvar Mammadov examined the deformation and permeability changes of limestones from the Grande Oolithe Formation under varying effective pressures. The research aims to better understand how rocks behave during the transition from brittle deformation to compaction and to identify the key factors controlling fluid flow in geothermal energy projects. The findings offer significant insights into the role of carbonate rocks in advancing geothermal resource development.
His presentation, delivered in the EGU session “Petrophysics and Geomechanics for the Energy Transition,” received high international recognition and serves as strong motivation for this promising young researcher.
