IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) is a major research and training player in the fields of energy, transportation, and the environment. From research to industry, technological innovation is central to all its activities, structured around three strategic priorities: sustainable mobility, new energies and responsible oil and gas. For more than 30 years, IFPEN has performed sandbox experiments designed to improve understanding of some of the processes governing tectonic deformation. IFPEN creates analog models using a sandbox and a medical scanner— a powerful, non-destructive imaging technology—to observe internal structures of each model through the deformation at time scales. IFPEN then uses these analog models to produce 4D numerical models to simulate different types of rock de
