Structural Geology, Tectonics and Geomechanics - RWTH Aachen

Michael and Christopher wrote a blog article about their fieldwork in Iceland and how that relates to analogue models to understand subsurface structures. Check it out!

Minds over Methods: Massively dilatant faults in Iceland – from surface to subsurface structures In this Minds over Methods we don’t have one, but two scientists talking about their research! Michael Kettermann and Christopher Weismüller, both from Aachen University, explain us about the multidisciplinary approach they use to understand more about massively dilatant faults. How do they form ...

On Thursday (January 24, 12:00) Dan Mircea Tămaș from the Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania will give a talk about 'Salt tectonics in the Eastern Carpathian Bend Zone, Romania: insights from analogue modelling.'

We cordially invite everyone who is interested to join this seminar!
Our seminars are open to scientists and students, colleagues and friends.
This is a brown-bag seminar, you are invited to bring your lunch to the talks.

When: Thursday, January 24, 12:00
Where: Lochnerstraße 4-20, Haus A, 4th floor, room 408

Join the next NUGGED seminar tomorrow by Derya Gürer (The University of Queensland) on 'In-situ U-Pb ages of multiple generations of calcite fabrics related to the Ivriz Detachment, Central Anatolia'.
The talk will be at 12:00 in room 408, Lochnerstraße 4-20, Haus A.
This is a brown bag seminar, so feel free to bring your lunch!

Hallo zusammen,
die Endo sucht fürs Wintersemester 4 HIWIs @ 2h pro Woche fürs Endo Tutorium und 1 HIWI um das Übungsangebot über L2P auszuweiten, ebenfalls @ 2h/Woche.
Ihr solltet selber gut bis sehr gut in der Endo abgeschnitten haben und Spaß daran haben anderen etwas beizubringen. Ihr werdet das Tutorium weitgehend alleine durchführen (nach wöchentlicher Einweisung zu den entsprechenden Übungen) und solltet daher auch in der Lage sein vor einer Gruppe zu sprechen und Verantwortungsbewusstsein mitbringen.
Wenn ihr Interesse habt, meldet euch direkt bei mir, aber bitte nicht über Facebook sondern email ([email protected]) oder schaut direkt in der Lochnerstraße vorbei, ich bin im 3. Stock Raum 314.
Michael

Our (massively dilatant faults) project is presented today at . Drop by at our posters from 17-19:00 in hall X2, posters X2.128, X2.130, X2.132 and X2.133!

The seminar on Thursday by Albert Riehm was re-scheduled to 10:00 am.

We have two seminars in our NUGGED seminar series this week! Drop by on Wednesday 12:00 to hear a talk by Daniel Bücken about the effect of mechanical stratigraphy on normal fault evolution. On Thursday 14:00 Albert Riehm will present his work on agglomeration of iron ore green pellets and mechanical properties.
The talks will be in room 408 (Lochnerstraße 4-20, Haus A, 4th floor) and they are open for all brown-bag seminars, so invite your friends and bring your lunch!

Check out some of our photos we took in Iceland while looking for dilatant faults and fractures!

Tomorrow at 14:00 Prof. Stephan Matthai of The University of Melbourne will give a talk on 'Understanding the impact of heterogeneity on CO2 plume spreading and CO2 immobilisation​'.

The seminar will take place in the Lochnerstraße 4-20, room 408 (4th floor).
Our seminars are open to scientists and students, colleagues and friends.
This is a brown-bag seminar, you are invited to bring your lunch to the talks.

We hope to see many of you there.
