Our paper on determining long-term fault slip rates in NW Zagros (Kurdistan) from luminescence dating of river terraces and structural modeling got published open access in Tectonics AGU (American Geophysical Union), with Christoph Gruetzner, @wukaimi, Frank and Payman, doi.org/10.1029/2020TC…

How to measure fault slip rates in the NW Zagros Mountains? This paper by Mjahid Zebari, @wukaimi, Christoph Gruetzner et al. provides answers (and slip rates, actually). Spolier alert: #OSL #RiverTerraces #Anticlines #FieldWorkWanderlust paleoseismicity.org/new-paper-by-z…

Pleased to share that my new paper with Schlunegger & Stockli is out! Provenance data from the Arabia-Eurasia suture zone suggest potential onset of continental collision by ~36 Ma and complete suturing by ~26 Ma.

We had very nice 12 days in Las Negras (SE Spain) for a field mapping course for bachelor students. There we mapped Neogene volcanic and carbonate rocks. LMU Geology (Lehrstuhl für Geologie), Simon Kübler

Very promising start!

Looking forward to #EGU23. LMU Geology (Lehrstuhl für Geologie)

We had a great time at #EGU23 with lots of inspiring discussions and catching up with colleagues and #lmugeology friends. We’re already looking forward to next year.

⚠️ On friday at 10 we are organizing a special lecture and discussion on: Military legacies and sustainable development: a hot topic for geologists. ⚠️ Our invited speaker is Professor Verena Winiwarter, an environmental historian from the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna.

My first paper is published. 🎉 Thank you to Simon Kübler for your scientific and moral support during my MSc thesis and beyond. 🤓

If you are attending INQUARoma2023 and interested in active tectonics, you may consider this keynote talk about deformation of active faults over different timescales: Zagros Mountain Front Fault in #Kurdistan as a case study. Saturday 15 July at 16:15. @wukaimi Christoph Gruetzner

The keynote talk about active faults went really well. #INQUARoma2023 Today, I made a tour around Rome and Vatican, and I was there for the Pope’s talk!

First day of LMU Geology (Lehrstuhl für Geologie) geological mapping course in Las Negras, SE Spain. We map Miocene volcanic rocks of Cab de Gata and Carbonates. Simon Kübler, Alina Ludat, Beth Kahle, David Munoz and me.

Tonight, we went out to look at rocks under UV light; fluorescence in carbonate rocks is amazing! The same spot under UV and normal lights.
