Research projects
The research of the working group Prof. Hampel is dedicated to tectonics and structural geology as well as to the investigation of the Earth's surface as the expression of the interplay betweeen endogeneous and exogeneous processes. As methods, numerical modelling, field work, low-temperature thermochronology and cosmogenic nuclides are applied. Main working areas are the European Alps, western Turkey, China, the Andes and the Basin-and-Range Province in the western U.S..
