Our research in the Greater Caucasus involves different developments including field expeditions, visits, implementation of maps, publications, meetings etc. Hereafter we present the latest “updates” in our research.
——————————
Results of our project are presented during an EGU General Assembly session: Convergent Tectonic Settings (TS7) – Geodynamic evolution of the Greater Caucasus Orogen (TS7.8) in Vienna in April 2018. 12 oral presentationa and 20 posters will be presented and discussed during this Special Session.
Many members from our different teams in Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Switzerland present their results at this EGU meeting

During a recent visit to Essentuki at the «Kavkazgeolsyomka» in June 2017 members of the team (Jeremiah and Vera) had the opportunity to experience some ot the northern Greater Caucasus Geology during some fieldtrip together with Vladimir Lavrishov and Nicolay Enna. The visit was in the frame of the SNF-SCOPES project (IZ73Z0_152392) – Greater Caucasus Tectonic and Paleotectonic Evolution.
