Forschung
- Metamorphic petrology: reconstruction of pressure-temperature histories of metamorphic rocks; petrology/mineral chemistry of high pressure metamorphic rocks/minerals; timing of high pressure metamorphism and exhumation processes; geochemical signatures of metabasites and the relation to plate tectonic environments of melt generation
- Theoretical petrology: modeling of phase equilibria in complex systems, including solid solutions as continuous exchange vectors; calculation of petrogenetic grids for mafic, ultramafic and calcsilicate rocks in various model systems
- Petrology of the earth mantle: stability of hydrous phases in the upper mantle; petrology of alpine peridotites and the mechanisms of their emplacement in the crust
- Microstructures in metamorphic minerals: exsolution/precipitation and ordering processes in pyroxenes and amphiboles
- Field areas:
Erzgebirge Crystalline Complex, Odenwald Crystalline Complex, Attic-Cycladic Crystalline/Greece Granulitgebirge, Münchberg gneiss complex, Tauern window
