TU Darmstadt – Institute of Applied Geosciences
At the Institute of Applied Geosciences one working group has its focus in sedimentary geology: Applied Sedimentology (Hinderer/Hornung/Lenz).
Currently the following research topics are covered in Darmstadt
- Continental sedimentary systems
- Earth surface processes and sediment budget
- Palaeolimnology and palaeoclimate
- Volcaniclastic rocks
- Reservoir characterisation and aquifer sedimentology
- Hydrochemical processes and soil erosion at catchment scale
Analytical equipment in the field of sedimentary geology
- Ground penetrating radar
- Shear wave seismics
- Gamma spectrometer
- Portable XRF
- Laboratory for porosity and permeability measurements
- Laboratory for palynological sample preparation
