The research
group in tectonics focuses on the understanding of tectonic processes related
to the formation of mountain belts. Besides classic studies on the structural
geology, we also use 3D modeling to understand the kinematic development of orogens. One research direction concentrates on the 3D structure of the Swiss Molasse
Basin between Prealpes,
and in the Hegau-Bodensee area. One of our main objectives is to link
seismicity to a regional kinematic model and understand the processes governing
the basement-cover interaction.
A second major research focus is on the Greater
Caucasus in collaboration with many partners, and with the object of
establishing a new tectonic map. Further Research Projects (lien

passive margins and plate-tectonics (Tethyan and Atlantic domains).
