ABSTRACT The Lower Freshwater Molasse (Untere Susswasser Molasse) crops out over a
wide area of the Swiss Molasse Basin. Coarse grained alluvial fan conglomerates dominate …

This integrated study of the sedimentology, magnetostratigraphic chronology and
petrography of the mostly continental clastics of the Oligocene to Miocene Swiss Molasse …

Magnetostratigraphic chronologies, together with lithostratigraphic, sedimentological, and
petrological data enable detailed reconstruction of the Oligocene to Miocene history of the …

We present a synoptic overview of the Miocene-present development of the northern Alpine
foreland basin (Molasse Basin), with special attention to the pattern of surface erosion and …

The stratigraphic architecture of the Swiss Molasse basin, situated on the northern side of
the evolving Alps, reveals crucial information about the basin's geometry, its evolution, and …

We propose three partly unrelated stages in the geodynamic evolution of the Alps and the
sedimentary response of the Molasse Basin. The first stage comprises the time interval …

For basin modelling purposes, uplift and erosion analysis is as important as subsidence
analysis. Within the North Alpine Foreland Basin of Switzerland (NAFB) three major …

Since the seminal publication of Henry Darcy's work in the 1880s, a very large number of
rock property values (such as hydraulic conductivity, permeability, compressibility, porosity …

Abstract The Oligocene Lower Freshwater Molasse of Switzerland is host to spectacular
outcrops of fluvial deposits. In distal areas of the Swiss Molasse Basin, deposits of a north …

We investigated the mechanisms leading to the formation of tunnel valleys in the Swiss
foreland near Bern. We proceeded through producing 3D maps of the bedrock topography …
