GEODYNAMICS AT GRAZ is the research group around Kurt Stüwe. Our general interest is the geology of mountain building processes. We tackle this theme with a variety of methods in a series of research projects:
TECTONICS & STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY
Field based mapping studies; kinematic modelling of deformation; mechanical modelling of mountain building; thermal modelling; Alpine studies; interpretation of microstructures.
GEOMORPHOLOGY / NEOTECTONICS
Landscape evolution studies using field based mapping; interpretation of digital elevation models; cosmogenic isotope dating; speleological studies.
METAMORPHIC GEOLOGY
Metamorphic modelling; description of mineral equilibria; phase diagrams; interpretation of PT paths, kinetic studies on grain growth and nucleation.
