University of Hamburg – Institute for Geology
At the Institute for Geology two working groups have a focus in sedimentary geology: Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy as well as Geology in the Earth System.
Currently the following research topics are covered in
- Carbonate sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy
- Sedimentary climate archives of the coastal zone (dunes, beaches)
- Sedimentology of carbonate-dominated drift-systems
- Geobiology
- Geomicrobiology
- Organic Geochemistry
Analytical equipment in the field of sedimentary geology:
- GPR (GSSI SIR-3000, -4000, Antennas: 40, 2x100, 200, 270, 400 MHz)
- Grain-size determination (Laser particle-size analyzer Sympatec Helos KF, Sedigraph III Plus 5125)
- Carbonate analytic (Leco DR-144)
- Terrestrial Laserscanner (Ilris 3D) and UAVs for SfM
- Digital multi-channel reflection seismics (Hydroscience Technologies Inc.)
- Shallow-water seismics (Applied Acoustics Sparker-system)
- Interferometric multibeam (Bathyswath)
- Differental GPS (Leica GS09)
- Software (SeisSpace/ProMAX, Petrel, KingDom Suite, Pix4D, Radan, Qimera, Fledermaus etc.)
- Organic geochemistry laboratories including GC, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, and GC-irm-MS
