Auf dieser Seite finden Sie eine Sammlung von Links zu wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen, die für dieses Projekt relevant sind oder die dazu beitragen können, ein tieferes exemplarisches Verständnis über die Prozesse und Umstände zu erlangen, welche möglicherweise in einem Zusammenhang mit der hier vorgestellten Neuinterpretation der Germania Magna stehen. Dabei handelt es sich um Veröffentlichungen unterschiedlicher Forschungsbereiche.

Die Sammlung umfasst:

  • Primärliteratur: Wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen, die die Ergebnisse neuer Forschung präsentieren.
  • Sekundärliteratur: Wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen, die die Primärliteratur zusammenfassen, analysieren oder interpretieren.
  • Vergleichende Literatur: Veröffentlichungen, die Ihnen exemplarisch ähnliche Prozesse und Umstände in anderen Kontexten aufzeigen.
  • Weitere Ressourcen: Links zu Websites, Datenbanken und anderen Ressourcen, die für die Neuinterpretation relevant sein können.

Die folgenden Publikationen sollen dabei helfen, bestimmte Fragestellungen exemplarisch zu beantworten, welche in einem möglichen Zusammenhang mit den notwendigen Prozessen und Vorgängen stehen, die für eine umfangreiche Landschaftstransformation erforderlich sind. Hierzu zählen beispielsweise Überlegungen über tektonische Bruchereignisse und Rift-Systeme, mit entsprechender Auswirkung auf maritime Rutschungsereignisse und die Entstehung neuer Sedimentationsbecken.


Dynamics of Mid-Palaeocene North Atlantic rifting linked with European intra-plate deformations


Nielsen, S., Stephenson, R. & Thomsen, E. Dynamics of Mid-Palaeocene North Atlantic rifting linked with European intra-plate deformations. Nature 450, 1071–1074 (2007).

DOI https://doi.org/10.1038/nature06379 Abstract The process of continental break-up provides a large-scale experiment that can be used to test causal relations between plate tectonics and the dynamics of the Earth’s deep mantle1,2. Detailed diagnostic information on the timing and dynamics of such events, which are not resolved by plate kinematic reconstructions, can be obtained from the response of the interior of adjacent continental plates to stress changes generated by plate boundary processes. Here we demonstrate a causal relationship between North Atlantic continental rifting at ∼62 Myr ago and an abrupt change of the intra-plate deformation style in the adjacent European continent. The rifting involved a left-lateral displacement between the North American-Greenland plate and Eurasia, which initiated the observed pause in the relative convergence of Europe and Africa3. The associated stress change in the European continent was significant and explains the sudden termination of a ∼20-Myr-long contractional intra-plate deformation within Europe4, during the late Cretaceous … WeiterlesenDynamics of Mid-Palaeocene North Atlantic rifting linked with European intra-plate deformations

Holocene Relative Sea-Level Changes from Near-, Intermediate-, and Far-Field Locations


Khan, Nicole & Ashe, Erica & Shaw, Timothy & Vacchi, Matteo & Walker, Jennifer & Peltier, W. & Kopp, Robert & Horton, Benjamin. (2015). Holocene Relative Sea-Level Changes from Near-, Intermediate-, and Far-Field Locations. Current Climate Change Reports. 1. 10.1007/s40641-015-0029-z.

DOI https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40641-015-0029-z Abstract Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) records exhibit spatial and temporal variability that arises mainly from the interaction of eustatic (land ice volume and thermal expansion) and isostatic (glacio- and hydro-) factors. We fit RSL histories from near-, intermediate-, and far-field locations with noisy-input Gaussian process models to assess rates of RSL change. Records from near-field regions (e.g., Antarctica, Greenland, Canada, Sweden, and Scotland) reveal a complex pattern of RSL fall from a maximum marine limit due to the net effect of eustatic sea-level rise and glacio-isostatic uplift with rates of RSL fall as great as −69 ± 9 m/ka. Intermediate-field regions (e.g., mid-Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the USA, Netherlands, Southern France, St. Croix) display variable rates of RSL rise from the cumulative effect of eustatic and isostatic factors. Fast rates of RSL rise (up to 10 ± 1 m/ka) are found in the early Holocene in regions … WeiterlesenHolocene Relative Sea-Level Changes from Near-, Intermediate-, and Far-Field Locations

Fault system evolution in the Baltic Sea area west of Rügen, NE Germany


Deutschmann, Andre & Meschede, Martin & Obst, Karsten. (2018). Fault system evolution in the Baltic Sea area west of Rügen, NE Germany. Geological Society, London, Special Publications. 469. SP469.24. 10.1144/SP469.24.

DOI https://doi.org/10.1144/sp469.24 Abstract Based on reprocessed offshore seismic lines acquired during oil and gas exploration in the 1980s, we reconstruct the formation and reactivation of major fault systems in the southern Baltic Sea area since the late Paleozoic. The geological evolution of different crustal blocks from the Caledonian Avalonia-Baltica collision until the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene inversion tectonics is also examined. The detected fault systems occur in the northern part of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ) and belong either to the late Paleozoic Tornquist Fan or to the complex Western Pomeranian Fault System (WPFS) generated during Mesozoic extensional movements. While the NW- SE-trending deep Wiek Fault separates the Arkona High from the Middle Rügen Block, the NNW-SSE-trending Agricola Fault demarcates the Middle Rügen Block to the Falster Block in the west. Together with the Plantagenet Fault and numerous younger faults in the Mesozoic cover, it forms the Agricola Fault System. Furthermore, structural … WeiterlesenFault system evolution in the Baltic Sea area west of Rügen, NE Germany
