This study addresses the polyphase Miocene tectonic evolution in the Maramures area (northern Romania) by combining field observations, stratigraphic arguments and fission-track analysis (Tischler et al. in press). ...

An international workshop entitled: Modern Solar Facilities - Advanced Solar Science was held in Göttingen from September 27 until September 29, 2006. The workshop, which was attended by 88 participants from 24 different ...

The question, whether crustal domains are allochthonous terranes or not is crucial for plate tectonic models of the Ibero-Armorican segment of the Variscan belt. The Léon Domain in the Armorican Massif appears as a ...

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) of rocks reflects the preferred orientations of minerals. Therefore AMS is a quick and easy way to characterize rock fabrics (Hrouda 1982,Borradaile 1988); the obtained result ...

The radiogeic 4He isotope is continuously forming in the lithosphere mainly by the alpha-decay of U, Th and Sm. This decay process was discovered already at the beginning of the 20th century, and the first U/He dating ...

Seit nunmehr 20 Jahren findet regelmäßig alle zwei Jahre das Symposium ‚Tektonik — Strukturgeologie — Kristallingeologie‘ (TSK) statt. Die Tagung soll insbesondere jungen Nachwuchswissenschaftlern die Möglichkeit bieten, ...

In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat die Messung der magnetischen Suszeptibilität im Schwachfeld (üblicherweise bei 300Am−1) für geologische Arbeiten eine wichtige Rolle eingenommen. Da anhand der Anisotropie der magnetischen ...

In Kristallingesteinen (Magmatite, Metamorphite, Migmatite) sind Mikrorisse allgegenwärtig. Ihre Entstehung ist auf unterschiedliche treibende Kräfte (i.W. Tektonik, Thermik) und Mechanismen wie z.B. volumetrische Verformung ...

The orogenic wedge model (Davis et al. 1983; Platt 1986) marks a conceptual breakthrough in understanding the growth and long-term evolution of accretionary wedges. The characteristic rheology of subduction-related ...

Geology as a science has an important visual component and the knowledge of any geologist is deeply linked to visual experience of rock outcrops, thin sections and analytical images. One of the shortcomings of most geological ...
