Overdeepenings in the Swiss plateau: U-shaped geometries underlain by inner gorges

Abstract We investigated the mechanisms leading to the formation of tunnel valleys in the Swiss foreland near Bern. We proceeded through producing 3D maps of the bedrock topography based on drillhole information and a new gravimetric survey combined with modelling. In this context, the combination o...
