Jon Mosar

My research is related to the tectonic development of mountain belts, foreland basins and fold-and-thrust belts, as well as passive margins. I have also been involved in a series of projects on plate tectonics. My areas of research mainly concern the northern Alpine foreland in Switzerland and France and the Greater Caucasus in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia. Plate-tetonic investigations cover the Tethys domain and the North Atlantic. Presently I am working on the orogenic development of the Greater Caucasus and the understanding of the formation of faults and the associated stress field in the Alpine foreland.
