“With his expertise in quaternary geology and landscape development, Fritz Schlunegger is an ideal addition to our existing team”, stated Michael Wieser, Director of the Waste Disposal Division within ENSI. Furthermore, his many years of experience in the area of deep repository assessment makes him a valuable member of the expert group.
The Professor of Exogene Geology at Bern University has already supported the EGT in the past. He was an ordinary member of the EGT until March 2013, then over the last three years reduced his commitment to occasional support of the expert group because of his mandate in the National Research Council. He replaces Annette Johnson, who retired at the end of 2015 on health grounds and sadly died shortly after.
