„We seek cooperation with academia or industry on interesting tectonic and structural geology problems.“
We offer long-term experience and knowledge across a wide range of Earth Science disciplines with potential applications in:
- Geological and structural mapping in a wide range of geologic settings (volcanic areas, plutonic and metamorphic complexes, sedimentary basins)
- Fabric and strain analysis of geological bodies in 3D
- Rock magnetism, magnetic anisotropy measurement, analysis and modeling
- Tectonic analysis
- Analysis and interpretation of brittle fractures and paleostress evolution
- Advanced geological data processing, interpretation, and modeling
- Geological consulting
Our goal is research excellence and a better understanding of how the Earth works, with a particular emphasis on orogenic processes and crustal magmatism. We study:
- Tectonic development of active continental margins and collisional orogens
- Interactions of plate motions, crustal melting, magmatism, and tectonic deformation
- Tectonics of sedimentary basins
- Magnetic properties and fabric analysis of geomaterials
- Magma transport and emplacement in the Earth´s crust
- Evolution and dynamics of collisional and accretionary orogens and magmatic arcs
- Paleotectonic reconstructions
- Applications of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) method in Geosciences
- Field geology
- Geological mapping
- Tectonics and structural geology
- Optical methods
- AMS
- Iimage analysis
- Computer-based geological data processing
- GIS
- Laboratory of Rock Magnetism: high-end facility for measuring the magnetic susceptibility of oriented specimens, statistical data processing and interpretation (multi-function Kappabridge MFK-1A with 3D rotator, CS4 Furnace Apparatus, and CS-LLow-temperature Cryostat Apparatus)
- Optical microscopy: Nikon Eclipse 100LVPol microscope mounted with a high-resolution Canon camera and supported by the NIS-Elements D 3.2 software for image processing and analysis
- Field work and expeditions: complete sampling equipment including hand-held drills for taking oriented cores, expedition gear for field work in wilderness and remote areas
