The Variscides of Europe and N-Africa are the result of the convergence of the plates of
Gondwana and Laurussia in the Paleozoic. This orogen is characterized by the juxtaposition …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic Variscan Orogen of Europe and North Africa comprises
reworked Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic crust of the northern Gondwanan shelf that …

Detailed global plate motion models that provide a continuous description of plate
boundaries through time are an effective tool for exploring processes both at and below the …

Deep geothermal energy represents a key element of future renewable energy production
due to its base load capability and the almost inexhaustible resource base. Especially with …

We propose a modified centroid method to compute the depth to the bottom of magnetic
sources (DBMS) based on a fractal source distribution. This approach provides better …

Sedimentary basins host, among others, most of our energy and fresh-water resources: they
can be regarded as large geo-reactors in which many physical and chemical processes …

This richly illustrated book presents Germany's geological evolution in the context of the
Earth's dynamic history. It starts with an introduction to Geology and explains the plate …

The contribution of lateral forces, vertical load, gravity redistribution and erosion to the origin
of mantled gneiss domes in internal zones of orogens remains debated. In the Orlica …

Coal petrology data and vitrinite reflectance modelling were combined with micro-
geochemical and fluid inclusion analyses of coal mineralization and apatite fission track …

The halogen contents of granitoid rocks and their distribution between apatite, biotite,
muscovite and amphibole from two different localities (German part of the Bohemian Massif …
