New article just out 📢📢🎉🎉🎉 How does basement influence fold-thrust belt tectonics? Sometimes quite substantially, as we can show in new study published in #Tectonics #openaccess Check it out here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Deadline for EGU abstracts rapidly approaching. Fold thrust belt session happens again: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio... Please consider submitting an abstract. Looking forward to an exciting session!

Happy new year everyone! All the best for 2024🎉🎉

Loving it: napkin science and coffee ...

Exhibition room is so nice, particularly when it gets dark outside... ⚒️

New paper alert 🎉📢🎉📢 (thread follows soon) - How decollement strength and dip control fault vergence. - Cumulative vorticity characterizes fold-thrust belts - backthrusts are mechanical gages #OpenAccess www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So nice to receive constructive minor revisions 🎉🎉. Is #reviewer2 on holiday?

Winter's in town...

Rocks do not only enjoy deformation. Happy feldspars apparently also exist in magmatites...

Finished and everybody all smiles. Two days of intensive talks and discussions on Geo Bio interactions in the wake of climate change.

Doctoral school this morning: Steve Wickham presents project on Geo - and Biodiversity in the Tauern NP

Autumn school continued today. Especially tasty: first coffee with last preparations before we start.

Was great to see @mabeeskow.bsky.social again! Good discussions on well log analysis and icp-ms data

Doctoral school kicked off this morning with a talk by Matthias Bernet (Grenoble) on mountain building and biodiversity. Followed by a talks on climate and tectonics coupling and biodiversity changes

Never gets old: vertical bedding planes. Example from the subalpine molasse, #Alps ⚒️

Panorama View of the impressive nappes of the northern calcareous #Alps. Mount Watzmann in the center, to the left the Goell Massif. Town of Berchtesgaden in the valley.

Sidewalk science: some deformed conglomerates seen in Vienna

Maths of stylolites explained by Simon Hirländer in the quarries of Adnet Limestone (or marble, as it's called in art).

Getting ready to building the bridge between arts and geology. Microstructure of sculptures. Day one: the quarries, day two the art.

Hi all 👋! This is Christoph (@strucgeology on Twitter, new to this platform). I post mainly on structural geology and Tectonics. I'm prof at Salzburg University combining rock mechanics with landscape evolution.
