Our team is involved in a series of projects that are described in the different dedicated pages and which range from regional Alpine, Greater Caucasus and Tien Shan-Pamir tectonics to thematic topics in structural geology such as fold-fault kinematics, faults and stress etc. All of our studies are heavily field based.
Our present ongoing research projects are:
- Greater Caucasus Tectonics
- ———————————————————
- Tien Shan – Pamir Tectonics and Kinematics
- ———————————————————
- Stress State, Fault Criticality andf Fluids
- ———————————————————
- Molasse Basin Tectonics
- Jura Mountains Kinematics
- Pontarlier Tear Fault System
- La Sarraz-Mormont Fault (Pontarlier Fault System)
- Basal décollement of the Alpine foreland
- ———————————————————
- Seismotectonics of the Alpine foreland and Molasse Basin
- ———————————————————
- Variscan terranes in the Alpine domain
- Evolution of the Variscan Terranes within the Tethyan plate tectonic framework
The tectonics group has also pursued research in a series of other domains and regions. In the following is a list of finished projects:
- Tectonics in the Prealpes Klippen Belt
- Plate tectonics of the North Atlantic
- Scandinavias Atlantic Passive Margin
- Tethyan Plate Tectonics
- Tectonics in the Rhenish Slate Belt Luxembourg
