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 …

Observations in sedimentary basins affected by deformation show that the fault-induced
depositional accommodation, at various spatial and temporal scales, is closely linked to …

This paper describes the steps that have been undertaken to create an enhanced
geothermal system (EGS) at the Deep Heat Mining Project in Basel, Switzerland. Preliminary …

The architecture of sedimentary basins reflects the relationship between accommodation
space and sediment supply, their rates and localization being variable during basin …

The European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS) and associated fault systems transect all
Variscan Massifs in the foreland of the Alps. ECRIS was activated during the Eocene in the …

Besides providing unique information on early mammal evolution, the UNESCO World
Heritage Site “Messel Fossil Pit”(Hesse, Germany) yields detailed insight into short-term …

Understanding the physical basics of tectonic events, related fluid flow and ore deposition
represents one of the great challenges in modern geosciences. In this contribution, Sm-Nd …

The annually laminated oil shale from the Eocene maar lake at Messel (Federal State of
Hessen, Germany) provides unique paleoenvironmental data for a time interval of~ 640 ka …

The coupled tectonic and depositional history of extensional basins is usually described in
terms of stratigraphic sequences linked with the activity of normal faults. This depositional …

Abstract The Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Zn–Pb–Ag deposit in the Wiesloch area,
Southwest Germany, is controlled by graben-related faults of the Upper Rhinegraben …
