C - Institutskolloquium S21
to Whiteboard Site

Description

Qualifikationsziele:

Die Studentinnen und Studenten sind mit repräsentativen aktuellen Forschungsthemen in den geologischen Wissenschaften vertraut. Sie können Ansätze und Ergebnisse von wissenschaftlich komplexen Themen durch sinnvollformulierte Kritik hinterfragen und kennen Arbeitsmethoden und -ziele von wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsgruppen auch außerhalb des eigenen Instituts.

Inhalte:

Es werden Forschungsergebnissen zu aktuellen Themen der geologischen Wissenschaften, vorwiegend durch Gastvorträge (inter-)nationaler Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen, vermittelt. Darüber hinaus werden neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse aus den laufenden Arbeiten der verschiedenen geologischen Fachrichtungen präsentiert und diskutiert sowie wechselnde aktuelle Themen über Literaturstudium besprochen. Die zweisemestrige Dauer dieses Moduls ermöglicht es den Studentinnen und Studenten, einen repräsentativen Einblick in die Vielfalt geowissenschaftlicher Themen zu erlangen und an Beispielen Forschungsthemen zwischen Hypothese und Publikation zu begleiten. Das Modul gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die Vielfalt aktueller geowissenschaftlicher Forschungsthemen innerhalb und außerhalb des Instituts und bietet erste unmittelbare Erfahrung des täglichen Ablaufs von Forschung in sich entwickelnden Arbeitsfeldern.

Qualification goals:

The students are familiar with representative current research topics in the geological sciences. They are able to question approaches and results of scientifically complex topics through meaningfully formulated critical thinking and are familiar with working methods and objectives of scientific working groups including those outside their own institute.

Contents:

Research results on current topics in the geological sciences are presented, mainly through guest lectures by (inter)national scientists. In addition, new scientific findings from the ongoing work of the various geological disciplines are presented and discussed, and various current topics are discussed through literature studies. The two-semester duration of this module enables students to gain a representative insight into the diversity of geoscientific topics and to accompany research topics between hypothesis and publication using examples. The module provides a comprehensive insight into the diversity of current geoscientific research topics within and outside the institute and offers first direct experience of the daily routine of research in developing fields of work.

New nanoscale views of terrestrial planet evolution

Invited by: Elis Hoffmann

How have the crusts of planetary bodies in our Solar System evolved through time? To answer this question, we need to be able to do a lot with little sample. This talk will summarize some of our recent work using meteorites, Apollo samples and meteorite impact sites on Earth to try and better constrain the timing and nature of major geological processes across the Solar System. We will zoom from the planet to atomic scale along the way!

I studied Geoscience at the University of St Andrews, and then earned my doctorate at the University of Bristol. Following postdoctoral positions at the University of Bern and University of Western Ontario, I joined the University of Portsmouth in 2013. My research group focus on planetary geology and geochronology, including new applications of correlative microscopy and nanoanalytical techniques.

22 April 2021: Tectonics and surface processes of the Hellenic Subduction Zone across multiple time-scales Dr. Richard Ott GFZ Potsdam

Geowissenschaftliches Kolloquium 

Tectonics and surface processes of the Hellenic Subduction Zone across multiple time-scales

Dr. Richard Ott 

GFZ Potsdam 

Invited by: Dirk Scherler

Abstract:

The Hellenic Subduction Zone in Greece is the largest and seismically most active subduction zone in Europe. I will be talking about how deformation in this region has changed over a range of time-scales from Miocene to today, and we’ll be looking at the largest earthquake and tsunami ever recorded in the Mediterranean.

Also, we’ll look at the profound effect of lithology on topography above the Hellenic subduction zone, answering the question why carbonate mountains are often high and steep.

Bio: Richard Ott studied Geosciences at the University of Tübingen. He completed his doctorate in 2020 at ETH Zürich, and is since 2021 a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation based at GFZ Potsdam. His research mainly focuses on tectonic geomorphology and the ways in which topography is generated and degraded over various timescales.
