Tectonics, Structural Geology, Microstructures, Geochronology (mainly 40Ar/39Ar)

Mountain building processes in collisional orogens, structure and tectonic evolution like in the Eastern Alps, Zagros Mountains, Aegean Sea. Large-scale structures, exhumation of high-pressure units (e.g. Cyclades, Greece), metamorphic core complex, processes in accretionary wedges and obduction of ophiolitic material (e.g. Zagros, Iran); Meso-scale structures, Microstructures and Geomechanics; Development of microstructures over time and changing and/or various conditions; Plastic creep of rocks and intracrystalline plasticity on the atomic level.

Salt structures and creep of rock salt is one of my special interests. Development of internal structures of salt bodies. Age dating of structures. Petrology of rocks in thin skinned tectonics, like evaporites, shale, carbonates and petrology of assemblages in highly deformed units.
