The Tectonophysics
Group at Freiberg works on Continental
Tectonics; we focus on the crustal deformation but incorporate
the analysis of the co-dependence of lithosphere, atmosphere, and mantle
and link the fore- and hinterlands of orogens.
Our expertises
are in the fields of structural geology,
geo/thermo-chronology, remote sensing, geomathematics, and regional
tectonics.
Our
regional research foci are young orogenic belts
like the Himalaya-Pamir-Tibet-Myanmar orogenic system of Central Asia,
the northern Caribbean plate boundary, the ultrahhigh-pressure orogen
in Central China.
Our methodologic research
foci are on Fission-Track
Dating, Ar-Ar
Thermochronology, and Tectonic
Geomorphology
GEOARC,
the Asian Geoscience Research Center at TU Bergakademie Freiberg coordinates
and promotes research in Asia and is the prime contact address for cooperations

In the following, we give a few field shots introducing
our working areas and, hopefully, will interest you to contact us.

close to the most outstanding xenolith locality
on Earth)
