Research Group Geodynamics of the Polar Regions

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.

Glacial landscape of the Canadian high Arctic (Ellesmere Island). For obtaining information on the rocks beneath the glaciers we are sampling sands from the glacial outlets
