Tectonics, structural geology and tectonic geomorphology

Research Interests

  • Low-temperature thermochronology (fission-track and (U-Th)/He dating techniques)
  • Geochronology
  • Tectonic and geomorphic applications of thermochronology
  • Structural geology (key aspects: interpretation of microstructures, deformation mechanisms of rock forming minerals, lattice preferred orientation)
  • Geodynamics
  • Neo-Alpine tectonics and relation between neotectonic and morphology evolution of the European Alps, field mapping studie
