Quantitative analysis of faulting in the Danakil Depression Rift of Afar: the importance of faulting in the final stages of magma-rich rifting Magmatic intrusion and faulting both accommodate crustal extension in magma-rich rifts. However, quantitative constraints on the contribution of …
Reconstruction of the history of fluid flow in fault zones Fluid flow, fluid pressure and water-rock interaction are important controls on fault activity. However, the relation between fluid flow and fault activity is often difficult to quantify because of a …
Highlights of recent research from GEO: 13.00-13.15 Sebastian Wolf: Topography of mountain belts controlled by rheology and surface processes 13.15-13.30 Nele Meckler: Cenozoic evolution of deep ocean temperature from clumped isotope thermometry 13.30-13.45 Hasbi Ash Shiddiqi: Seismicity modulation due to hydrological …
Dating deformation and exhumation in orogenic settings My research career has focused on contributing to tectonic reconstructions of collisional (Himalaya, Trans-Hudson) and accretionary (Appalachian, Cordillera) orogens by constraining the timing of deformation and exhumation. To do this, I integrate structural …
What can we learn from salt-basins field analogues? The Moroccan Central High Atlas revisited Mar Moragas (Postdoktor ZechTec project, GBS) The Central High Atlas was classically regarded as a failed Mesozoic rift arm subject to Alpine inversion, folding and thrusting …
Quantifying terrestrial palaeoclimate variability from ice-marginal moraines Glaciated landscapes contain moraines that record past glacier extent from which we can (in some cases) infer palaeoclimate. However, to do so, we need to bear in mind that glacier response to climate …
Structural evolution and architecture of an exhumed crustal-scale seismogenic fault (Bolfin Fault Zone, Atacama Fault System, Chile) Simone Masoch The architecture and spatio-temporal evolution of brittle fault zones play a pivotal role in earthquake mechanics, by controlling, for instance, the …
s-Inking the rainbow - introducing two initiatives for generating better science graphics Grace Shephard The adage, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” is wholly applicable to the (geo)sciences. Whether in publications, talks, teaching or press-releases, the use of effective graphics is paramount …
Ujjwal Shekhar Microseismic wavefield modeling using the integral equation method Induced seismicity is commonly associated with activities like conventional and unconventional oil/gas production, enhanced geothermal systems, carbon sequestration, hydraulic fracturing, etc. Fluid injection/extraction affects the pore pressure within the rockmass and …
