Freiberger Geologie: Tectonophysics/Methods

Tectonophysics/Methods

Tectonophysics and Asian Research Center (GEOARC)

(Tectonics, Geo/Thermochronology, Remote Sensing)



Petrology, done in cooperation with scientists from Freiberg, Potsdam and Santa Barbara, is a major component of Tectonophysics in Freiberg		Mountaineering skills are welcome, although climbing Everest is not a prerequisite for work in high Asia

The GeoZentrum Freiberg offers the following analytical and computational facilities for Tectonophysics/Geocomputing/Geomathematics.

High-end computing and visualization laboratory
Microanalytics (SEM, MP; ICP-MS in Archaeometallurgy)
High-end optical microscopy and image analysis lab
Remote sensing and GIS visualization
Rock processing and thin section laboratory
Fluid inclusion laboratory
Stable isotope laboratory
Structural geology (computerized strain-, stress-, vorticity-analyses, section balancing (2D-3D MOVE), analysis of structural geometries)
Quantitative texture analysis (crystallographic preferred orientation) applied to geological materials (X-ray goniometry and EBSD on SEM in the Freiberg material science department)
Geo- and thermochronology
Fission-track laboratory

Ar/Ar laboratory

U/Pb and Rb/Sr laboratory
