Prof. Daniel Imrecke (University of Houston) visits the analogue modelling laboratory

20. Juni 2018, von Tom Jaeppinen

In June and July 2018, Prof. Imrecke will conduct scaled anologue modelling experiments tailored to better understand the tectonic evolution of the Pamir Mountains as part of the Himalaya-Tibet tectonic realm. Specifically, he will explore the extent to which large strike-slip faults contribute to the pronounced curvature of this mountain belt, one of the topographically most elevated oroclines on Earth. His analogue experiments pertain also to understanding orocline formation of the central Andes and the kinematic complexity of crustal-scale strike slip systems, which are research topics of the structural research group.
