The fundamental geological processes and geophysical analysis techniques, as well as developing new, fundamental techniques within the specific fields are target areas. Investigations on the development of sedimentary basins, their sedimentary development and compaction, faulting and fracturing, their age and provenance, and biologic signatures are in focus.
The research group for Basin Studies at the Dept of Geosciences embraces five research areas and sub groups:
Sedimentology, Structural geology, Geophysics, Palaeoclimatology, Geochronology
