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 ... -
The Influence of Fluorine, Chlorine and Water on the Rheology and Structure of Na2O-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 Melts
(2014-05-21)This study investigates the influence of 1.6 to 14.5 mol% water, 1.1 to 18.3 mol% fluorine (F) and 0.5 to 1.4 mol% chlorine (Cl), alone and combined, on the structure and viscosity of peralkaline and peraluminous Na2O CaO ... -
The microscopic dimension of paleoclimate in the EPICA-DML(Antarctica) deep ice core
(2013-03-12)The present work is divided into two main parts: the introductory half and the experimental chapter. Chapter 1 starts with the brief presentation of the scientific project that facilitated the development of the thesis, ... -
The onset of planet formation inferred from isotope anomalies in meteorites
(2024-12-18)Variations in the isotopic compositions of extraterrestrial samples provide important insights into the formation of planetesimals—the fundamental building blocks of planets. Particularly, isotopic anomalies of nucleosynthetic ... -
The role of fault zones on structure, operation and prospects of geothermal reservoirs - A case study in Lahendong, Indonesia
(2015-05-27)Expiration of fossil fuels and climate irregularities directs the energy demands towards renewable energy sources for the energy supply in future. In this frame, geothermal energy gives a substantial contribution to the ... -
The role of Islamic microfinance in poverty alleviation and environmental awareness in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia: A comparative study
(2013-08-07)Poverty is one of the greatest problems affecting developing countries. Socio-economic imbalances, created by both natural and artificial resource scarcity, restrict impoverished people’s access to economic opportunities, ... -
The Sierra Ballena Shear zone:
(2005-06-06)The Sierra Ballena Shear Zone is a high-strain transcurrent structure that divides the Neoproterozoic Dom Feliciano Belt of South America into two different domains. The eastern and western ... -
Towards a high-quality interannual to millennial ice-core based temperature reconstruction for East-Antarctica
(2022-09-16)Instrumental observations of climate cover only the past ~200 years. Our knowledge about historical natural climate variability beyond this time is exclusively based on climate proxies, stored within natural archives. ... -
Towards a new picture of the 'Baltic amber forest' - flora, habitat types, and palaeoecology
(2017-12-07)Amber is fossilized resin that was excreted by conifers or angiosperms. Plant and animal remains which got caught inside of these ancient resin flows are called ‘inclusions’ and are often preserved with high fidelity. Amber ... -
Trace element mineral analysis in high pressure metamorphic rocks from Trescolmen, Central Alps
(2001-11-01)This study focuses on the trace element behaviour in high pressure metamorphic rocks. The eclogite locality Tescolmen in the Adula Nappe was found to be an ideal natural laboratory that ... -
Tracer compounds in geothermal reservoirs: Improving the outcome quality of a tracer test
(2018-04-20)In a tracer test, applied tracers are introduced and transported with a working fluid so that the tracer response signals can be used to determine the target parameters of the aquatic system, such as temperatures, flow ... -
Tracing volatile element fractionations in the early Solar System: Evidence from Ge isotopes in meteorites and planetary bodies
(2025-08-05)Volatile elements are variably depleted in all meteoritic and planetary materials, including Earth and other terrestrial planets, relative to the bulk solar composition. The origins and underlying mechanisms of these ... -
Trade-offs between seascape and offshore wind farming values: An analysis of local opinions based on a cognitive belief framework
(2013-06-04)Offshore wind farming is gaining increasing momentum in Germany. Given the wide range of other sea uses in the North Sea, the potential for contention is high. This study traces attitudes to offshore wind farming among ...
