Sedimentology and facies analysis

In order to understand the palaeoecosystem of the Tambach Basin in the Thuringian Forest, it is essential to understand the geological and palaeoclimatological contexts of the region in addition to studying the diverse fauna of the Early Permian in order to be able to draw conclusions about the landscape and ecological characteristics of the region and its climate.
To this end, we are carrying out four interrelated projects: (1) A systematic survey of the lithology and sedimentary facies from outcrops using the literature and new field surveys; (2) the knowledge gained from this will be incorporated into a 3-D cellular, low-resolution and patchy facies model of the geological subsurface (Skua); (3) this geological inventory identifies localities to drill two core holes to fill, extend and stabilise the facies model and to identify horizons that are correlatable with the Bromacker fossil deposit; (4) this allows the fossil-bearing Tambach Formation to be hooked into a new standard sequence of the basin.

Evaluation of the DGM1 of Saxony-Anhalt in the south-eastern Harz foreland

Cooperation agreement, joint project old mining in the copper slate and the subrosion of the gypsum and salts of the Zechstein in southern Saxony-Anhalt. Anhalt have led to a distinctive morphology which is relevant for engineering geological geological questions. With the help of DGM 1 and and various derived geodata mapped and categorised.
