Tectonically-controlled emplacement mechanisms in the upper crust under specific stress regimes: case studies
(2009-07-30)With regards to emplacement controlled by tectonic activity, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous materials share many similarities. This is not only because that most of the features are ... -
Tectonothermal evolution of the Sarandí del Yí Shear Zone and adjacent blocks (Uruguay): Implications for the assembly of Western Gondwana
(2016-08-05)The Sarandí del Yí Shear Zone (Uruguay) is a crustal-scale structure that separates the Río de la Plata Craton from the Nico Pérez Terrane and Dom Feliciano Belt. Nevertheless, its evolution is poorly constrained, even ... -
Temporal-Spatial Variabilities and Influencing Factors of Terrestrial Wet-Dry States and Vegetation Development: A Case Study in Northeast China
(2024-08-05)The number of hydroclimate disasters has increased dramatically since the late 20th century with profound changes in the environment. The Meteorological Drought Index facilitates long-term monitoring of wet-dry trends and ... -
Testing selected micro-contaminants for their applicability as water quality indicators
(2013-02-07)The use of anthropogenic micro-contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, lifestyle products, biocides, and pesticides as water quality indicators has aroused great interest in the scientific community and there is a high ... -
Textur- und Mikrostrukturanalysen an Materialien für den direkten und indirekten Zahnersatz
(2014-03-07)Physical properties like hardness, e-modulus and thermal expansion of dental materials are supposed to be nondirectional (isotropic), although these materials can possess directional (anisotropic) properties due to their ... -
Th-U series radionuclides in the characterization of geothermal reservoirs (Bruchsal, SW Germany)
(2020-10-08)A sophisticated analysis of naturally occurring nuclides has the potential to support geothermal energ\ e[ploitation during various stages of a project·s life c\cle. One possible methodological approach is based on the ... -
The application of remote sensing, GIS, geostatistics, and ecological modeling in rangelands assessment and improvement
(2013-08-19)Human-caused ove rgrazing and drought periods have led to the land degradation which might cause an eventual loss of biodiversity in rangeland ecosystems of Iran. Therefore, assessment of the current condition of rangelands ... -
The causes and effect of temporal changes in magma generation processes in space and time along the Central Andes (13°S – 25°S)
(2015-11-27)This thesis investigates the timing and causes of the transition between two different magmatic regimes during the evolution of the Central Andean uplift. The first volcanic regime is represented by Miocene lava shields, ... -
The development of the Dangerous Grounds and Palawan Island in the southeastern part of the South China Sea, deduced from carbonate formations
(2019-03-15)The South China Sea is a quite narrow Cenozoic ocean basin. It is located between China in the north, Vietnam in the west, Malaysia and Brunei in the southeast and the Philippines in the north and northeast. Rifting in the ... -
The Distribution of Water in the Lunar Magmatic Ocean
(2023-07-17)Water plays an important role for many geological and organic processes. Nevertheless, it is still unclear why our Earth has such large quantities of it. Either it has been part of the building blocks of our planet or was ... -
The emplacement of the Chinamora Batholith (Zimbabwe) inferred from field observations, magnetic- and microfabrics
(2001-04-20)The Chinamora Batholith (Zimbabwe) frequently is stated as a type-locality for the emplacement mechanism of ballooning, however its emplacement mechanism is still the subject of an ongoing ... -
The Evolution of Distant Spiral Galaxies in the FORS Deep Field
(2004-05-28)This thesis describes the analysis of a data set of 130 spiral galaxies at distances corresponding to look-back times between 1 and 8 Gyrs. Such a sample allows to test the predictions of the hierarchical scenario, according ... -
The evolution of the Ascomycota new insights from Mesozoic and Cenozoic amber fossils
(2013-08-14)This thesis contributes to the knowledge of the evolutionary history and palaeoecology of the Ascomycota (sac fungi). The six included papers are based on the investigation of Cretaceous and Palaeogene amber inclusions and ... -
The geochemistry of detrital rutile - Implications for sedimentary provenance studies and the reconstruction of metamorphic conditions
(2011-08-15)Samples investigated in this study derive from a large range of metamorphic conditions (from diagenetic up to 950°C and 4.5GPa) and geological settings. Main sampling localities were the ... -
The Geomorphic Response of the Passive Continental Margin of Northern Namibia to Gondwana Break-Up and Global Scale Tectonics
(2001-07-06)Apatite fission track thermochronology data provide an independent and direct constraint on the spatial and temporal variations of denudation in onshore regions. The method allows the ... -
The Impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation Events on Water Resource Availability in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.
(2006-03-03)Precipitation anomalies caused by the warm phase (El Niño) of the ENSO cycle lead to a strong decrease of water resources in South-East Asia. The aim of this work is to study the impact of ... -
