Arbeitsschwerpunkte

Physikalisch experimentelle und numerische Simulation; Physikalische Eigenschaften von Geomaterialien und deren Analoga; Geothermische Forschungsfragen; marine und terrestrische geophysikalische Akquisition; Bearbeitung und Interpretation geophysikalische Daten; lange Zeitreihen natürlicher thermischer und Deformationssignale; Materialtransfer und Deformation an konvergenten Plattenrändern; Hangstabilitäten und Erdbebenprozesse; Gashydratsysteme; geophysikalische Sedimentbeckenanalyse.

My main research interest is to quantitatively understand geoprocesses and their interrelations with a focus on those processes in which fluid play an important role. Besides geophysical and rock physics data, the marine and onshore acquisition of which, is among the practical work I am undertaking, I use physical experiments and numerical simulation to study e.g. deformation at continental margins or fluid flow in sedimentary basins. Gas hydrate systems and slope stability at convergent margins like Hikurangi or Peru, sediment mobilization processes, and to image structures and flow systems in forearc but also intra-continental basins like in mid-Europe are topics of recent and ongoing projects.
