Evolution of rift structures, topography and the sediment supply – A perspective from numerical modelling on the respective importance of tectonic and earth surface processes during continental rifting Lorenz Michel Continental rifting is the response of the continental lithosphere to …
Orogenesis from bottom to top - Investigating the geodynamics of mountain building using coupled thermo-mechanical-surface-process models The objective of this project is to advance our understanding of mountain building processes in different plate tectonic settings and with specific focus on …
Modern Fieldwork during a Pandemic: From outcrops to computers.
Structural framework and the timing of faulting in Western Norway Geometric and temporal constraints on the brittle evolution are important to obtain a comprehensive picture of the post-Caledonian topographic evolution of Western Norway. In this study, we combine remote sensing, …
Zircon Hf-O isotopic fingerprints in accretionary vs. collisional orogenesis Zircon Hf isotopes are able to identify the relative proportion of mantle and crustal inputs to magma systems, and different Hf isotopic patterns can be expected in different tectonic settings. Coupled …
Leveraging seismic data quality metrics for network supervision and sensitive earthquake detection In earthquake seismology, the last decade has led to ever growing datasets of continuous seismograms being recorded, stored, and made openly available. These ever increasing datasets (e.g., …
Improving modelling of seismic images through Point-Spread Function-based convolution Seismic images are generated when a source at the Earth’s surface initiates a pressure wave which travels through the Earth’s subsurface. As the wave hits layer boundaries in the Earth’s interior, …
What causes volcanic gaps in subduction zones? Insights from South central Alaska
Deep-water syn-rift sedimentary response to alternating Late Quaternary palaeoenvironments in the Gulf of Corinth (Greece) Relatively few detailed studies exist of rift axis depositional systems and the controls on their sedimentology and stratigraphy. Cores from the IODP Expedition 381 (Corinth …
Faulting at near-surface conditions: an example from unconsolidated deposits in the Central Apennines
