Anisotropic properties of rocks are relevant for geoscience and geophysics from macro- (landscape) to microscopic (grain/pore) scales. Here the scientists present possibilities of an enhanced investigative workflow for the anisotropy of rock samples in the LIAG laboratories, namely joint interpretation of the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and µ-CT based image data and analysis. We place the value of such data in the context of geophysical research, and give an example of a latest in-house project.
