TU Bergakademie Freiberg – Institut for Geology
There are several working groups at the Institute for Geology (TU Bergakademie Freiberg) with a focus on sedimentary geology. Current research projects combine sedimentology, volcanology and palaeontology to understand regional geological and palaeogeographical concepts, but also the economic potential of sedimentary basins and their tectonic evolution.
Currently the following research topics are covered in Freiberg:
- clastic sedimentology and facies analyses
- carbonate sedimentology
- provenance analyses
- volcanology
- coal and petroleum geology
- micropalaeontology
- biostratigraphy
Analytical equipment in the field of sedimentary geology
- grain size analyses (sieving, Atterberg, LPS)
- heavy mineral separation
- thin section laboratory
- laboratory for microscopic image analyses
- laboratory for Ar-Ar geochronology
