DEFORMATION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS: MECHANICAL-CHEMICAL FEEDBACK AND THE COUPLING ACROSS SCALES

This multidisciplinary doctoral school aims at developing reliable predictive capacity in geological modeling by identifying and parameterizing the feedback mechanisms between chemical reactions and deformation.

MICRO-MECHANICAL, GEOCHEMICAL AND KINEMATIC HISTORY OF DEFORMATION AND THE EVOLUTION OF POROSITY IN HABBAN FIELD BASEMENT RESERVOIRS (YEMEN)

This OMV funded project investigates an exotic crystalline basement hydrocarbon reservoir in Yemen.

STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE QUARTABA ANTICLINE, LEBANON

In this OMV funded project the structure of a huge anticline is investigated by means of remote sensing techniques and structural field work.

FOLD-GROWTH IN THE KOPEH DHAG MOUNTAINS, NE IRAN

This project focuses on the tectonic geomorphology of the Western Kopeh Dagh and investigates the fold growth above thrusts in this tectonically very active region. The studies are supported by the OMV and the NIOC.

MECHANO-CHEMICAL FEEDBACK PROCESSES IN DEFORMATION BANDS

The Elise Richter project funded by the FWF investigates deformation bands from various Miocene lithologies in the Eisenstadt-Sopron Basin.

3D MICRO-IMAGING OF FRACTURE NETWORKS USING MICRO-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY - UPSCALING OF POROSITY AND PERMEABILITY OF A FRACTURED RESERVOIR (HAUPTDOLOMIT)

This project, funded by the OMV, investigates 3D Fracture networks and their petrophysical properties using micro-computed tomography (µCT) and the Scaninng Electron Microscope (SEM) as well as Cathodoluminescence.
