title: Understanding coupled fluid transport for de-risking geological carbon and hydrogen storage
Creators: name: Busch, Andreas
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2023

description:
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as well as subsurface energy storage in the form of hydrogen are measures to lower carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Large-scale implementation is underway, especially for CCS, and first hydrogen storage projects have been announced recently.

With most CCS projects being planned for offshore locations, public acceptance is less of a determining factor than it used to be 10-20 years ago, where discussions were rather for onshore locations. CO2 leakage has always been a risk highlighted in the public debate, while no or minimal leakage has been reported for current CCS projects worldwide. However, as scientific community, we need to realistically highlight the risk of leakage across sealing units for any fluids stored in the subsurface to inform various stakeholders like regulators, the public and of course also operating companies.

Caprock leakage needs to be studied across various length and time scales, considering the undisturbed matrix as well as fracture networks and faults; we need to consider advective and diffusive flow and transport and incorporate mineral alterations, potentially leading to changes in hydraulic or mechanical properties.

This talk will highlight the current state of research, advancements and future research required for a realistic evaluation of caprock leakage. It will be based on past research related to matrix transport as well as current research focusing on single and multiphase flow along faults and fractures.
Examining the quantity and quality of antibiotic use : a population-based analysis of British Columbia and Ontario

description: BACKGROUND: In 2019, AMR was associated to 4.95 million deaths, with an additional 1.27 attributable. The aim of this thesis was to examine both the quantity, and quality, of outpatient antibiotic use in British Columbia (BC), and Ontario, Canada. Elucidating more granular interpretations of aggregate use by antibiotic class, and indication; identifying the magnitude of provincial inappropriate and/or unnecessary prescribing; and expanding interpretations of outpatient inappropriate use by dose and duration. METHODS: Administrative health data bases were utilized for retrospective cohort studies examining provincial antibiotic use between 2000 – 2018. Baseline rates of overall use were identified by drug, syndromic category and diagnosis. Then, overall appropriate use was compared in older Canadians across provinces, and unnecessary antibiotic use was quantified in BC relative to expected rates. Prescribing quality was delineated by agent, dose and duration for: (1) community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children (< 19 years) and older adults (≥65 years), and (2) adult cystitis (19 – 64 years). RESULTS: Outpatient antibiotic use decreased by 23% over the study period. Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) were attributed to the highest rates of antibiotic use across all study years. (233 prescriptions per 1000 population). Provincial stewardship efforts were correlated to a 24% decrease in prescribing, when compared to a pre-stewardship era. In older adults, 50% of all indication-associated antibiotic prescribing were attributed to diagnoses for which clinical guidelines do not recommend their use. In BC, RTIs were prescribed at rates 2 – 8 higher than expected. Prescribing for pediatric CAP was 27% concordant to clinical guidelines. In older Canadians, 63% of prescribing in BC, and 75% in Ontario were considered appropriate—by guideline concordance, or clinical factors which preclude the use of first-line agents. In both cohorts, excess duration was the hallmark of inappropriate prescribing (>90%). In BC adult females, 35% of cystitis-associated prescribing was fully appropriate. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated rates of inappropriate and unnecessary antibiotic use stress the need for more rigorous national stewardship efforts and public health messaging to increase appropriate prescribing and protect the efficacy of these essential medications.

description:
The deep thermal field in the continental lithosphere varies significantly depending on the age of the lithosphere, its tectonic setting and the time since the last tectonic event. Accordingly, orogens with a thickened radiogenic crust will be hotter in their crust than cratonic areas that had billions of years time to equilibrate after the last tectonic event. Areas affected by continental rifting and passive margins also may be characterized by specific lithospheric configurations and a distinct geothermal fingerprint. Using data-integrated models of different continental areas we evaluate the first-order controlling factors of the related threedimensional temperature distributions. We find that the resolution of subsurface heterogeneities and the consideration of the appropriate heat transport mechanisms are key in predicting the characteristics of the deep thermal field. Accordingly, the superposed effects of varying thermal conductivities, contributions of radiogenic heat and variations of the thermal lithosphere thickness together result in setting-specific background 3D thermal fields. These effects are superposed by the effects of coupled fluid and heat transport in the the upper few km of the crust. Knowing the first-order characteristics of the local thermal fingerprint is key for geothermal exploration but also for estimating the expected mechanical thickness as well as the nature and magnitude of seismicity.

description:
Securing a predictable and affordable supply of critical metals for the high-tech industry, coupled with tightening supplies and augmented competition for available resources, leads to increasing exploration of complex and/or unconventional deposits. Complex ores often require extensive metallurgical processing and thus suffer from high capital and/or operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX). The Fe, Co, Ni, and Sc extraction from Sebuku Fe-(Ni)-Laterite was studied. The study compares conventional and alternative extraction methods, considering both the metal value of the deposit and the operational expenditures involved.

Conventional methods, such as roasting, stirred leaching, and pressure leaching, showed high extraction efficiencies for the target elements but also a significant demand in energy and chemicals. Alternative reducing agents in combination with conventional methods benefit faster leaching times and reduced energy demand at similar extraction efficiencies and might result in a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly process chain. Unconventional approaches, such as ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents, report lower recovery rates necessitating further basic investigations to optimize the leaching agents and/or to develop efficient process designs with respect to the specific requirements.

Independent on the approach used, a basic process design including the implementation of potential recycling processes and waste/wastewater streams is mandatory for a first economic assessment of the individual routes. Based on this evaluation, the study highlights the need for further optimization to make beneficiation approaches feasible and attractive for potential investors especially viewing the current market prices for metals and chemicals.

description:
Carbon dioxide removal and storage is required for limiting global warming to the 2 °C goal of the Paris Agreement. One method is the storage of CO2 in deeply buried geological formations.

As part of the GEOSTOR project, we created static 3D models for two potential storage sites in the Middle Buntsandstein within the German North Sea Exclusive Economic Zone.

One 3D geological model (~1300 km2) located on the "West Schleswig Block" is based on 2D seismic data from various surveys and geophysical logs from four exploration wells. It encompasses a salt controlled anticline with 40-50 m thick Lower Volpriehausen Sandstones forming the primary reservoir target. The top seal consists of Upper Buntsandstein and unconformable Lower Cretaceous mudstones.

The other 3D geological model (~560 km2) is located within the “Entenschnabel” area and, in contrast, is based on several high-resolution 3D seismic data and geophysical logs from four exploration wells. The reservoir, which also consists of up to 65 m thick Lower Volpriehausen Sandstones, is located within the Mads Graben with erosional discordances at the top. The upper seal consists of Upper Jurassic clays and partly unconformable Lower Cretaceous mudstones.

For both models we conducted petrophysical analyses of all considered well data and calculated reservoir properties to determine the static reservoir capacity for these storage sites.

Finally, we parametrized both models in order to provide two complete reservoir models that are capable of further dynamic capacity simulations, geo-risk and infrastructural analyses aiming at an entire feasibility study within the project framework.

Concussion among children and youth in British Columbia : follow-up visits and health outcomes
Creators: name: Ramsay, Scott James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Concussions are a major health issue for children and youth, with negative physical and mental health outcomes, some of which have long-lasting effects. Given the high incidence and burden of concussion, timely follow-up and management of concussion is crucial. After a concussion diagnosis, follow-up visits with a health care provider are important for reassessment, continued management, and further education. The factors that influence the timeliness of the first follow-up visit post diagnosis are not well understood, nor is the relationship between timing of the follow-up visit and the length and severity of symptoms experienced. Therefore, in this dissertation I addressed three research objectives: 1) to explore the rates and timing of a first follow-up visit for children and youth with a concussive injury; 2) to identify factors associated with follow-up timing; and 3) to investigate the effect of timing of the first follow-up visit on children's health after a concussion. This descriptive, correlational study drew on linked, population-based administrative data from the province of British Columbia, Canada, resulting in a sample of 22,601 pediatric concussion cases. The main measure in the study was timing of the first follow-up visit, which was measured as timely (within 28 days post-concussion diagnosis), delayed (29 days to 3 months), and no follow-up. Other study measures included age, sex, geographic residence, socioeconomic status, and type of health care provider at the index visit. Binary and multinomial logistic regression were the main analytic strategies used. Findings showed low levels of timely follow-up. Older age, living in a rural area, higher socioeconomic status, and seeing a specialist physician at an initial concussion diagnosis were associated with a timely follow-up visit. Lastly, children and youth with a delayed follow-up visit were more likely to experience a residual health outcome within 12 months of an initial diagnosis compared to those with timely follow-up. This study is one of the first Canadian population-based explorations into the timing of follow-up visits of concussed children and youth, and provides evidence supporting the importance of a timely first follow-up visit after a concussion diagnosis as a pivotal part of pediatric concussion management.
title: Integrating geological data of 100 years to model an area-wide map of the Quaternary base of Brandenburg
Creators: name: Rütters, Sophia
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2023

description:
Mapping the Quaternary base is required for various processes. Accordingly, it serves as a necessary horizon for set-up of 3D geological models of the subsurface, as well as a database for engineering geological processes. The most important field of application in Brandenburg considers hydrogeological questions such as the separation of the freshwater/ saline-water level in aquifers. Reliable and detailed working basis are needed for sophisticated modelling and to ensure the integration of all different data and information leading to area-wide maps.

At the geological survey of Brandenburg data of more than 200 000 drillings (from the beginning of 1900 until today), seismic profiles (average profile density of 0.7 km/km2) and gravimetric measurements (average point distance of c. 5 km) are available. In recent years maps of the Quaternary base were constructed independently by specific tasks and requirements. As a consequence, ten different maps were produced in the period from 1970 to 2014. Scaling varies between 1:10 000 to 1:1 000.000, while those with the higher resolution cover only parts of Brandenburg. The aim of this study is to combine all datatypes to create a holistic model, which can be used interdisciplinary. The varying quality and quantity, as well as the large age range of the incoming data pose a challenge being solved with different modelling approaches and geostatistical methods.
title: Development of a routine method for the chemical and mineralogical characterization of Li- and Mn-containing slags from the recycling of NMC-type lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)

Year: 2023

description:
In the BMBF-funded project PyroLith, a methodical approach for the recovery of Li from NMC type LIB via a combined pyro- and hydrometallurgical process route is being developed. For this purpose, the cooling conditions and the chemical composition of the battery slags are optimized in the pyrometallurgical process step so that the whole Li content of the melt is enriched in the artificial, Li-rich compound lithium aluminate (γ-LiAlO2). After comminution of the slags, the γ-LiAlO2 is separated from the largely silicate slag matrix by flotation. The lithium is then leached out by hydrometallurgical processes and recovered as Li2CO3.

In order to achieve the project goal, extensive chemical and mineralogical analyses of the process samples are required, which are carried out as part of a method development at BGR. Because Li cannot be directly measured by conventional wavelength- and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic investigation procedures, and amorphous components are only given as a sum in X-ray diffraction analysis, the use of several complementary analytical methods for sample characterization is necessary.

In the work presented here, it is briefly outlined how a Li- and Mn-rich slag from the simplified battery slag system Al2O3-SiO2-CaO-MnO-Li2O can be fully characterized chemically and mineralogically using QXRD, SEM-MLA, EPMA, XRF and ICP-MS. Furthermore, a rapid analytical tool based on UVC radiation or alternatively on µEDXRF is presented to determine distribution, crystal size, crystal morphology and relative content of the target phase γ-LiAlO2 in the slags within a few seconds (UVC radiation) or within 3 hours (µEDXRF).

description:
We present the first systematic U-Pb-Hf isotope data of detrital zircon grains from gneiss units of the southern Black Forest, preserving different stages of the pre-, syn- and post-Cadomian evolution. Protoliths of Murgtal metagreywackes were deposited during the Ediacarian at <550 Ma and sourced from the Avalonian-Cadomian Belt (550-700 Ma; ~70%) and Sahara Metacraton (760-1045 Ma, 1850-2250 Ma, 2720-3230 Ma; ~30%). In contrast, metasedimentary rocks of the Wiese-Wehra and Todtmoos gneiss units reveal late Devonian depositional ages at <370 Ma, but in different geotectonic settings. Wiese-Wehra metagreywackes provide evidence for the existence of pre-Cadomian oceanic crust formed at 610 Ma (εHft = +5 to +8), accreted to the Cadomian Belt at ca. 540 Ma, and successively reworked between 490 and 430 Ma (εHft = +1 to +6). Finally, these rocks became part of an early Variscan arc-back arc system with juvenile input at 370 Ma (εHft = 0 to +10). Todtmoos metaarkoses mainly reflect subduction-related magmatism at 490-420 Ma (~88%), and at 380 Ma (~10%) in an evolved continental arc setting (εHft = -2 to -8). In combination, existing data from the Black Forest and other basement units throughout Europe provide evidence for the amalgamation of pre-Cadomian juvenile terranes along the northern margin of Gondwana until 540 Ma, followed by a complex rift history, accompanied by subduction between 500 and 400 Ma. They further point to the existence of an oceanic arc-back arc system, which has been located south of the Armorican terrane assemblage at 380-365 Ma.
Developed countries' voting patterns among some human rights resolutions at the United Nations (1992-2019)

description: This dissertation aims to answer the question: Why did developed countries tend to vote against some human rights resolutions at the Third Committee of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, while developing countries tended to support some human rights resolutions more often than developed ones? A proposed qualitative study, designed to tackle new patterns that systematically influence the voting position of developed countries and built on scholars’ arguments and findings, is the main stream of my dissertation.The methodology differs from using data collection of some human rights resolutions, categorized under specific issues and agenda items and recorded since just after the Cold War until the 74th Session of 2019 at the UN. In addition, an intensive self-observation of informal negotiation sessions (2014-2018) to draft resolutions was held at the UN before voting took place; self-observations of official voting sessions (2014-2018); interviews with experts and specialists at UN agencies and states missions; interviews of outsider professionals from policy-oriented research centers affiliated with and specializing in UN studies, and academics. These observations were made in tandem with theoretical frameworks based on hypotheses and postulates that were developed in other disciplinary settings.Numerous UN bodies are tackling human rights matters from different angles. This dissertation focuses mainly on the Third Committee: Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural, at the General Assembly of the United Nations, the committee directly related to human rights resolutions in New York and on some Human Rights Council-related reports in Geneva. My selection of the Third Committee’s resolutions is categorized and grouped as the following: human rights selective resolutions, freedom of religion, children’s rights and women’s advancement, and electoral self-determination.

description:
The last deglaciation is an ideal time interval to investigate the effect of climatic and oceanic disturbances occurring at high latitude on the hydrological regimes of the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, a series of disruptions of the Atlantic Meridional Oceanic Circulation (AMOC) has punctuated the transition from glacial to interglacial conditions, with the so-called 8.2 ka event being the youngest one. After the publication of recent results showing the existence of instable climatic conditions in the Dead Sea during the Younger Dryas (Müller et al., 2022), we examine here the environmental record during the 8.2 ka event to illuminate the effects of the background climate (colder to warmer) on hydrological distrubances linked to AMOC disruptions. We performed a coupled limnological and geochemical analysis of sediments deposited in the deeper part of the Dead Sea (ICDP site 5017A), which showed the occurrence of repeated mass wasting deposits related to intense erosive activity in the watershed of the Dead Sea. Newly-acquired neodymium and strontium isotopes also show a rapid change in sediment provenance and a hiatus in outcrop sequences from western lake shores suggests a drop in lake level at that time (Migowski et al., 2006). Ongoing classification of mass wasting events and the integration of other well-dated regional records and paleoclimatic simulations will provide additional insights on the erosional processes operating at that time, as well as the climatic regimes associated.

description:
The Global Heat Flow Database serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying Earth's thermal regime. However, accessing and analyzing this vast collection of geothermal data is presently challenging and limits its widespread utilization. To address this, we present a new online application to the international heat flow community, facilitating seamless discovery, access and analysis of the data. Developed within the DFG-funded World Heat Flow Database Project, it complements the evaluation of existing data and development of a new, collaborative metadata schema for heat flow data.

Our application offers an intuitive interface, allowing researchers to efficiently search, retrieve, and visualize heat flow measurements worldwide. It supports advanced search functionalities that enable users to filter data based on geographical locations, geological parameters, measurement techniques, etc. Integration of powerful data visualization tools allow users to generate maps, plots, and graphs for visual exploration and interpretation. Furthermore, the application incorporates domain relevant statistical analysis functionalities, empowering researchers to perform trend analyses and other statistical assessments directly within the platform.

Our application also aims to foster collaboration within the international heat flow community. We incorporate features such as user profiles, discussion forums, and the ability to contribute new data or review existing records. Overall, we hope to bridge the gap between heat flow specialists and valuable geothermal data by providing an innovative and inclusive platform. We believe this tool will significantly enhance scientific investigations into the Earth's thermal regime and serve as a catalyst for further breakthroughs in the understanding of geothermal processes.

description: The future synoptic projects, including the LSST, are preceded by a number of surveys, albeit shallower, or covering smaller areas or delivering a limited number of epochs. Nevertheless, this rich information trove can help to classify the newly identified variable objects, by providing either additional wavelength coverage or precovery monitoring. As a forerunner to the coming LSST avalanche of data, I apply this approach to the Gaia Alerts, using archival data from the VVV/X and VMC ESO public surveys and from the WISE satellite. Combining the optical Gaia colors and the infrared colors from these surveys helps to unambiguously identify young stellar objects and young stars. Furthermore, some precovery light curves show brightening of objects that were considered to have undergone microlensing events at a later date, during the Gaia coverage. The extremely low probability for multiple lensing events of the same star suggests that variability of these objects must be explained by other – and repetitive – mechanisms.

An evaluation of the COVID-19 pandemic impact on Canadian undergraduate dental students' perceived preparedness and actual productivity in clinical dentistry
Creators: name: Haji, Hussein K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Objective: To investigate the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the dental education, preparedness and productivity of Canadian dental students in two schools. Methods: Research data was collected via three primary methods. The first was through the Student Oriented Learning Online (SOLO) Survey. Survey responses from third and fourth year dental undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia and University of Toronto were compiled and analyzed. Secondly, clinical procedural productivity data was collected from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Dentistry for the dental student cohorts of 2016-2025 and analyzed. Lastly, data was collected from semi-structured interviews with dental students at both of the aforementioned universities. Analysis of the interview data revealed important themes. Results: From the SOLO survey data, it was found that UBC students showed higher scores for all six studied outcomes in comparison to UofT students. No significant differences were found among UBC respondents between Terms 1 and 2, but for UofT students two of the six outcomes were significantly decreased in Term 2 compared to Term 1. From the clinical procedural productivity data, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the number of procedures completed by the Classes of 2020 and 2021. Lastly, from the semi structured interviews, six overall themes were identified as to how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted these Canadian dental students. Conclusions: The two Canadian dental schools’ students felt that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significantly negative impact on their dental education and level of preparedness. The pandemic and related restrictions resulted in a decline of the number of clinical procedures completed by dental students. This study sheds light on various clinical preparation questions dental educators should consider.

The Dwalile Supracrustal Suite of the Ancient Gneiss Complex (Eswatini) represents one of the oldest greenstone belts in the world with a crustal evolution history from Palaeo- to Mesoarchaean times. The main metapelitic rock type is dominated by garnet and staurolite porphyroblasts in a layered matrix of biotite, muscovite, quartz and retrograde sericite. Minor components are andalusite, chlorite and chloritoid with accessory ilmenite and monazite. The age for the amphibolite facies metamorphism is recorded by monazite at ca. 3.15 Ga.

The garnet-staurolite bearing metapelites have thus similar mineralogy and bulk rock compositions, but differ due to their unusual garnet microstructures. In some samples the garnet grains are distributed as thin layers consisting of elongated ribbons, with local resorption textures and peninsular features together with coarse recrystallised quartz. The euhedral garnet cores are only visible in compositional maps, which show a typical bell-shaped growth zoning.

EBSD maps of the crystallographic orientations of the garnet are created for four samples and two samples were imaged using high-resolution X-ray tomography for the visualization of the garnet morphology in order to test the relationship of the garnet porphyroblasts and consider the implications for the formation mechanism. For example, do the garnets share the same crystallographic orientation or is there evidence for deformation and/or rotation processes during growth. How are the garnets orientated in 3D space and are the ribbon textures build up by subgrains caused by deformation or are they separate grains formed by multiple nucleation events, possibly caused by fluid-rock interaction processes.

description:
Internal heating in rocky bodies shape their interior and surface characteristics as well as their evolution. Among internal heat sources, tidal dissipation is a key one. The most striking evidence in the Solar System is the case of Io, archetype of tidally-heated world hosting extreme volcanism.

Io’s internal dynamics is complex due to the large and tidally-produced heat flux, leading to widespread melting in the interior. For Io-like bodies, the dissipation and heat transport models have thus to incorporate interactions between solid and liquid phases. Io’s mantle is commonly modelled either as a solid convective mantle, adapting models of terrestrial planets, or as a fluid magma ocean, adapting models of fluid water oceans of icy moons. However, neither of these two classifications likely accurately describes Io’s partially molten interior.

In that context, we model Io's mantle thermal evolution following the work of Sanchis et al (2022, EPSC), who developed a magma ocean modelling, using the CHIC convective code (e.g. Noack et al. 2013, Infocomp). In addition, we take into account heat generated by tidal dissipation accounting for the effect of melt presence on the viscous and elastic parameters of the mantle following Kervazo et al. (2021).

Our study provides valuable insights into the role of a large amount of melt in the thermal evolution of rocky planets and moons, and our modeling approach is applicable to other rocky planets with hot interiors, including the Trappist-1 planets and various known rocky exoplanets.

Geological hydrogen storage in saline aquifers is necessary due to their large capacities, enabling long-term and short-term storage and providing a secure and cost-effective option for integrating hydrogen into the energy system. Currently, there are no operational saline aquifer storages for hydrogen in Germany. However, there is an urgent need for investigating the desired capacity and performance of hydrogen underground storage facilities in deep saline aquifers as one of the most promising geological environments.

In this study, the sedimentary Stuttgart formation at the Ketzin site in Brandenburg, Germany, is assessed for geological hydrogen storage using an open-source reservoir simulator. The site has already been used for town gas and natural gas as well as for pilot CO2 storage in the past decades. The experience from these storage operations can be transferred to a potential hydrogen storage system.

The goal of the investigation is to evaluate the influence of geological parameters of the heterogeneous formation such as porosity, permeability, salinity, and capillary pressure on flow rates, quantities as well as on the recovery rate. The range of each parameter agrees with the measured uncertainty of petrophysical data. The results of the pre-feasibility study are then considered in the context of the regional hydrogen economy.

Overall, this multidisciplinary approach combines numerical simulations, geological parameters, and regional economic considerations. Future studies will focus on optimizing the operational parameter to minimize well-head pressure difference between charge and discharge cycles, to maximize production rates, and to achieve net-zero cumulative injection of hydrogen over time.

description: As an agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau and military officer, James Beecher embodied Federal power in the South Carolina Lowcountry. During Presidential Reconstruction, Beecher became a key administrator of Order No.15 that promised formerly enslaved peoples’s “40 acres and a mule” that formerly belonged to white plantation owners. Beecher, despite his antebellum abolitionist politics, was remarkably unsympathetic to freedpeople’s desire for independent landholding. Beecher believed that freedpeople were unfit for immediate citizenship and should sign labor contracts to return to plantations where they might be inculcated with Northern free labor values. Amid epidemic disease, famine, and white paramilitary violence, James Beecher chose to exert the full force of the Federal government not to remedy the humanitarian crises, but to coerce freedpeople into the signing of labor contracts. In his year of service, Beecher clashed with other administrators and freedpeople, yet achieved his goal of defeating widespread Black land ownership.

description:
The Central European Basin is an intracontinental basin filled with Permian to Quaternary sediments. The southeastern basin rim, an area roughly covering the southern part of Saxony-Anhalt and eastern Thuringia (Central Germany), is characterized by complex facies distributions with a stratigraphic gap of approximately 200 Ma, where Cenozoic sediments unconformably cover the lower Triassic strata.  The sedimentary rocks include several hundreds of meters thick evaporites, sandstone, shale, and carbonates of Permian to Late Triassic age, covered by unconsolidated sediments.

Various tectonic structures like NW-SE trending uplifted basement e. g. the Harz and Kyffhäuser Mountains and narrow fault zones where some abruptly ending along-strike; subordinated NE-SW trending faults sub-parallel to the Permian basin rim and salt structures characterise the area. These structures evolved during several phases of extension and contraction during Mesozoic to Cenozoic times. Due to the stratigraphic gap of the upper Mesozoic, tectonic and halokinetic processes can be well correlated with the wider Central European Basin and earlier structures. Local halokinetic processes and subrosion of evaporites indicated by the distribution of Tertiary deposits as well as variation of the thickness of evaporites influencing the geomorphology at the South-Eastern Harz Foreland until today.

Here, we used 3D modelling techniques and compiled data from drilling, seismic reflection profiles and historic mining surveys to visualize the temporal - spatial distribution and structural configuration of the South-Eastern Harz Foreland. This model will be used to unravel kinematic processes over geologic times, which will be a basis for future underground planning efforts.

description:
The last of a total of three main subsidence episodes of the northern Upper Rhine Graben took place during the Pliocene to Quaternary and allowed the accumulation of thick sedimentary sequences that can function as excellent data source for paleoclimate reconstructions. A 323 m long sediment core drilled in 2020-2021 near Riedstadt-Erfelden (~14 km WSW of Darmstadt) is therefore likely a high-resolution geoarchive documenting climate dynamics during the Plio-Pleistocene epochs. However, so far, the chronostratigraphic framework is based only on lithostratigraphic assignments. This study presents inclination values and magnetic susceptibility obtained from whole-core measurements and discusses initial stratigraphic ideas based on the resulting preliminary magnetic polarity stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphic assessments of the ‘Riedstadt-Erfelden’ core. Our results will be used to study the completeness of the geological record and will enable comparisons to be made with the cores investigated through the Heidelberg Drilling Project. Our aim is to verify the suitability and significance of the ‘Riedstadt-Erfelden’ core as geoarchive for Plio-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Central Europe.
