![]() 1998 Diploma in Geology-Palaeontology, ![]() | Our research deals with the geodynamic and
structural evolution of the polar regions. The
applied methods allow quantifying exhumation
and denudation rates through time and
space, offering clues to surface processes
and geomorphic evolution. This in turn provides
a better understanding of the coupling
between processes of the upper crust with
deep-seated processes in the lithosphere,
and with the climatic evolution.
![]() Working Area Continental and adjacent marine areas of
Antarctica, and of formerly adjacent regions
of the Gondwana supercontinent (southern
Africa, Madagascar, and India); Arctics: Svalbard, Greenland, and Canada Methods Fission Track and (U-Th)/He Analysis of
apatite and zircon, analysis of cosmogenic
nuclides, petrology, geochemistry, isotopegeochemistry,
cryomicrothermometric analysis
of fluid inclusions in minerals. ![]() Contact Telefon +49 421 218 - 65280 | |
