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 …

Fossil charcoal from a number of different sedimentary settings (eg, lakes, floodplains,
tuffs/tuffites) is reported from the Rotliegend (Late Carboniferous–Early Permian) of the Saar …

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 …

Abstract The Saar–Nahe Basin is one of the largest intra-continental basins of the European
Variscides. It is filled with up to 6500 m thick volcano-sedimentary rocks representing up to …

The crystalline basement of the Upper Rhine Graben is a major target for deep geothermal
exploration due to the generally high reservoir temperatures and the increased radiogenic …

Abstract The Salvan‐Dorénaz Basin formed during the Late Palaeozoic within the Aiguilles‐
Rouges crystalline basement (Western Alps) as an asymmetric, intramontane graben …

The late Variscan evolution of the Saar-Nahe Basin in southwest Germany is closely
controlled by the kinematics of the Hunsrück Boundary Fault, which also separates two main …

Abstract The late Varican intermontane Saar-Nahe Basin underwent an intensive episode of
synsedimentary intra-basinal magmatism, with magmas ranging from tholeiitic basalts to …

The Permocarboniferous siliciclastic formations represent the largest hydrothermal reservoir
in the northern Upper Rhine Graben in SW Germany and have so far been investigated in …

Sedimentary and volcanic strata in the late-orogenic intermontane Saar–Nahe Basin
preserve a record of sedimentary responses to motion on contemporaneously active faults …
