    Description: The main topic of this work is the introduction of time dependence into PHOENIX. This has been achieved for both the radiation field and the matter in the SN Ia model atmosphere. First, time dependence in the radiative transfer equation has been implemented. Two discretization schemes have been used for the implementation of the time derivative. Test calculations have been performed to confirm the correctness of the implementations. The radiation time scale computed with the time dependent radiative transfer is comparable to a simple analytic approach. Perturbations of the inner boundary condition of the atmosphere move through the whole atmosphere. For instance, an atmosphere with a sinusoidally varying inner light bulb leads to an atmosphere where the luminosity varies sinusoidally everywhere. For the next extension of time dependence for the matter, a simple hydrodynamical solver has been implemented. It computes the changes in the energy of an SN Ia atmosphere by considering the homologous expansion, energy transport and the deposition of energy by g -ray emission due to the radioactive decay of 56Ni and 56Co. Test calculations verified that each part of the solver works correctly. The energy deposition heats the atmosphere and increases the observed luminosity, whereas the adiabatic e expansion cools the atmosphere. The energy transport always pushes the temperature structure of the atmosphere towards the radiative equilibrium state ...

    Description: Spectro-astrometry is a technique to obtain information about the structure of an astronomical source on sub-diffraction limited spatial scales down to milli- or micro-arcseconds. The method exploits the shift of the photocentre of a structured source over emission/absorption lines in its spectral energy distribution. Sub-diffraction limited resolution can be achieved because the method only uses wavelength-differential information of longslit spectra. Although spectro-astrometry has already been devised by Bailey (1998) and some studies have been performed to date on different astronomic targets, so far, no systematic analysis of the potential of this technique has been undertaken. The aim of this work was to analyse the potential of the method, develop the tools to exploit this potential and write the software which is needed to perform the analysis procedure. To verify the practical feasibility, observations were done with the VLT/CRIRES facility to demonstrate the capabilities of the method with respect to detecting structures on giant star surfaces. All steps of data reduction were analysed with respect to their influence on the spectro-astrometric quantities and a new method for bad pixel detection was devised and implemented ...

    Description: This thesis deals with the high-energy emission from young stellar objects, which are on the one hand still actively accreting from their disk, and on the other hand are no longer deeply obscured by their natal cloud. Stars of spectral type B and A are called Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars in this stage, all stars of later spectral type are termed classical T Tauri stars (CTTS); strictly speaking both types are defined by spectroscopic signatures, which are equivalent to the evolutionary stage described above. In this thesis CTTS and HAeBes are studied through high-resolution X-ray and UV spectroscopy and through detailed physical simulations. Spectroscopic X-ray data is reduced and presented for two targets: The CTTS V4046 Sgr was observed with Chandra for 100 ks, using a high-resolution grating spectrometer. The lightcurve contains one flare and the He-like triplets of Si XIII, Ne IX and O VII indicate high densities in the X-ray emitting regions. The second target is the HAeBe HD 163296, which was observed with XMM-Newton for 130 ks. The lightcurve shows only moderate variability, the elemental abundance follows a pattern, that is usual for active stars. The He-like triplet of O VII exhibits line ratios similar to coronal sources, indicating that neither a high density nor a strong UV-field is present in the region of the X-ray emission ...

    Description: Many stars evolve not alone but along one or more companions. While the evolution of single isolated stars is well predicted by theoretical calculations, close binary systems with their interactions are on the one hand far more difficult to handle, but on the other hand well constrained in their masses and sizes. One mechanism thought to produce such close binaries is the Common Envelope Evolution (CEE). Especially young post CEE binaries show great temperature differences between both components of about a factor 10 at a separation of just a few solar radii. This work focuses on close binary systems with a hot primary component (e.g. a subdwarf O-type star (sdO)) and a much cooler secondary component (e.g. a main-sequence star), which is heavily influenced by external radiation originating from the first. The technique to include external radiation into the stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX, i.e., the deviation of the outer boundary condition and the change in the temperature correction method, is described in detail. To concentrate on the irradiation effect, other difficulties such as asymmetric effects due to tear-drop shaped stars, ongoing mass accretion or shadows of a circumbinary disc, are avoided by selecting pre-cataclysmic variables (pre CVs) out of the class of close binaries as laboratory. The total eclipsing binary system UU~Sagittae is used as an example for massive irradiation and observed spectral features in the optical are fitted ...

    Description: The term "stellar activity" summarizes a number of phenomena on the stellar surface and in the stellar atmosphere. The origin of many of these phenomena are changes in the structure of the stellar magnetic field. While it is possible to directly observe different forms of activity on the Sun in great detail, this remains impossible for other stars. However, by analyzing the spectra of these stars, information about their activity can be obtained. This thesis addresses two aspects of activity: First, the X-ray emission from the positions of A-type stars and a possible mechanism to produce these X-rays and second, the chromospheric activity in the spectral range from late A- to late K-type stars. Since the dynamo, which is responsible for the activity of solar-like stars, emerges in the range of late A- to early F-type stars, this spectral range is of special interest for the understanding of the activity phenomena. To study the X-ray activity of A-type stars, their optical positions as given in the Bright Star Catalogue were compared with the positions of the X-ray sources listed in the ROSAT catalogs. The matching criteria for the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data were 90 arcseconds, 36 arcseconds for the pointing observations with the PSPC and 18 arcseconds for HRI data. Those stars which could be associated with X-ray sources were tested for indications of hidden late-type companions. Variations in the radial velocity, the proper motion, and the light curve were interpreted as signs for binarity...

    Description: In this work, nonanalytical line profiles for both cool and hot, dense atmospheres are added to the opacity calculations of the multipurpose stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX. Their influence on model atmospheres and synthetic spectra is studied. Model atmospheres are necessary in order to calculate synthetic spectra and to derive reliable stellar parameters. For cool, dense atmospheres, i.e., of objects of spectral type similar to and lower than latetype M, vanderWaals broadening is the most important pressure broadening mechanism. The spectra of these objects below ~1 micro-meter are dominated by alkali resonance lines. The profiles of the alkali resonance lines, especially of Na ID and KI, determine mostly the pseudo continuum in this wavelength range. Up to this work, classical analytical impact approximated alkali near line wing profiles perturbed by H2, He, and HI, which are the dominant perturbing particles, have been applied. In this work, various nonanalytical alkali line profiles, including far line wing and near line wing profiles, for Na I D, Li I, KI, and Rb I are included in order to describe the strong alkali absorption features which are characteristic for latetype dwarfs. For the alkali resonance line profiles, different theoretical approaches were used describing the far and near line wings. Non analytical alkali profiles for the far and near line wings perturbed by H2 and He are provided in the unified semiclassical theory...

    Description: Die H.E.S.S. Kollaboration betreibt ein stereoskopisches System aus vier großen abbildenden Cherenkov-Teleskopen für den Nachweis sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung (VHE; 〉 100 GeV). In dieser Arbeit wird über den Nachweis zweier neuer Quellen sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung mit den H.E.S.S.-Teleskopen berichtet. Die extragalaktische Quelle 1ES0347-121 gehört zur Klasse der BL Lac Objekte und ist der aktive Kern einer entfernten Galaxie. Detektiert mit einer Signifikanz von mehr als 10 Standard-Abweichungen, ist es die bisher am weitesten entfernte Quelle sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung (Rotverschiebung z = 0.1880). Ihr Energiespektrum läßt sich gut durch ein Potenzgesetz mit Photonindex Gamma = 3.08 +/- 0.23_stat +/- 0.1_sys beschreiben. Der integrale Fluss I(E 〉250GeV) entspricht ~2% des Flusses des Krebsnebels. Mit Hilfe des hochenergetische Gamma-Strahlungsspektrum von 1ES 0347-121 werden Einschränkungen auf die Dichte des extragalaktischen diffusen Photonfeldes bestimmt (s. unten). Bei der zweiten Quelle handelt es sich um die ausgehnte Quelle HESS J1023-577, die mit dem jungen, massiven Sternenhaufen Westerlund 2 und dessen Umgebung assoziert wird. Junge und massereichen Sterne strahlen starke Sternenwinde ab, die durch Schockbeschleunigung hochenergetische Teilchen produzieren können. Zum erstenmal konnte eine Quelle sehr hochenergetischer Gamma-Strahlung mit einer solchen Umgebung sicher identifiziert werden. Das Energiespekrum reicht von ~400GeV bis ~20TeV und läßt sich gut durch eine Potenzgesetz mit Photonindex Gamma=2.53 +/- 0.16_stat +/- 0.1_syst beschreiben.

    Description: Unter stellarer Aktivität werden eine Reihe von Phänomenen in den unterschiedlichen Atmosphärenschichten zusammengefasst, die eng mit dem Magnetfeld des einzelnen Sterns verbunden sind. Da eine direkte Auflösung der Sternoberfläche, wie uns dies bei der Sonne möglich ist, für aktive Sterne noch in ferner Zukunft liegt, können diese Phänomene im Normalfall nicht direkt beobachtet werden. Es können aber aus der Spektralanalyse indirekt Informationen über die Aktivität eines Sterns gewonnen werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit koronaler und chromosphärischer Aktivität von mittleren und späten M Sternen und deren Nachweis und Analyse in UVES Echelle-Spektren von 3030 bis 3880 und 4580 bis 6680 A. Dabei widmet sich der erste Teil der Arbeit dem Nachweis der verbotenen koronalen Fe XIII Linie bei 3388 A. Das mehrere Millionen Kelvin heiße koronale Gas wird normalerweise - und am leichtesten - im Röntgenbereich beobachtet...

    Description: The high ionization state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) is maintained by the metagalactic UV background radiation. This ionizing radiation field is supposed to be the integrated radiation of quasars and young star-forming galaxies, which is reprocessed and attenuated by the intergalactic gas. Since the UV background is inaccessible to direct observations, it is impossible to test theoretical predictions of its spectral energy distribution in great detail. However, constraints can be derived from studies of metal absorption systems, the HI Lyman alpha opacity, or the HeII Lyman alpha forest, respectively. Observations of the HeII/HI column density ratio eta particularly probe the variations of the UV background. Since unobscured quasars permitting observation of HeII absorption are rare, there are only two lines of sight, towards the quasars HE2347-4342 and HS1700+6416, where the HeII Lyman alpha forest can be resolved. This work presents a study of the UV background at redshifts z 〈 3 investigating the HeII absorption towards the quasars HS1700+6416 (z = 2.72), which provides the second line of sight where the HeII Lyman alpha forest is resolved. The numerous metal line systems detected in the spectra of this QSO are studied in order to avoid biases due to unrecognized metal line absorption in the HeII forest. In this connection, several shapes of the ionizing radiation are tested for each system. The majority of the considered systems, in particular those at z 〉 2, is best reproduced with an ionizing radiation similar to the UV background of Haardt & Madau (2001), where the HeII break, formally located at 4 Ryd, is shifted to lower energies (~ 3 Ryd), probably due to the opacity of the higher HeII Lyman series lines ...

    Description: The Levantine Basin - a seismic investigation of the crustal structure and the evolution of the Messinian evaporites ABSTRACT This work presents an analysis of the crustal structure of the Levantine Basin, based on refraction seismic and gravity data, and an analysis of the evolution of the Messinian evaporites, based on reflection seismic data. Forward and inverse modelling of refraction seismic traveltimes along two profiles yielded 2-D velocity-depth-profiles. Gravity modelling along these profiles provided further information on the crustal structure. A great number of reflection seismic profiles was used for the analysis of the Messinian evaporites, which allowed an exhaustive investigation of the geometry of the evaporite layers, depositional phases of the evaporites and of their structural evolution. The Levantine Basin is located in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea. The basin and its margin are key areas for the understanding of the geodynamic evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean. The opening of the Levantine Basin is closely related to the opening of the Neo-Tethys. Many geodynamic reconstructions of this area have been developed, but the key question, the origin of the crust, remained open. The Levantine Basin is also a world class site for studying the initial stages of salt tectonics driven by differential sediment load. The Messinian evaporites are comparatively young (deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis 5.9 - 5.3 Ma ago), the sediment load varies along the basin margin, they are hardly tectonically overprinted, and the geometry of the basin and the overburden is well-defined...

    Description: Central Asia is characterized by a number of spectacular tectonic units such as the Tibetan Plateau, the Tien Shan intra-continental mountain belt and the Altyn Tagh strike-slip fault. Deformation of the lithosphere of these units is not well understood. In this dissertation, an attempt is made to answer the following tectonic questions: To what extent do the tectonic units formed in the upper crust in the course of the convergence between India and Eurasia weaken the underlying lithosphere? How is the Tibetan Plateau gravita-tionally compensated along its northern boundary? Do the Altyn Tagh and/or West Kunlun faults persist as vertical strike-slips throughout the crust and mantle lithosphere, thus representing a fundamental plate boundary? Which dynamic processes in the crust and mantle of the Tien Shan are responsible for intra-continental mountain building? What characterizes the local stress field in the Tien Shan and what causes the deformation of these mountains? To answer these questions, the elastic plate theory is used to interpret gravity and topography data, and in turn to derive specific characteristics of the lithospheric structure in Central Asia. Theoretical deflection of the elastic plate or plates were calculated using the 3D and 2D finite-difference methods. Variable-rigidity elastic plates are subjected to vertical and horizontal loads, shear forces, and terminal bending moments. Surface topo-graphic data from the Topo30 dataset is used as vertical surface loading to calculate the flexure of the elastic lithosphere...

    Description: Mit der Annahme schwacher Anisotropie vereinfachen sich die Lösungen der Modellierung und Inversion anisotroper Medien. Üblicherweise werden Perturbation-Methoden zur Beschreibung der Wellen-Ausbreitung in schwach anisotropen Medien verwendet, ein anisotropes Medium wird ersetzt durch ein isotropes Hintergrundmodell. Hier lässt sich die Wellenausbreitung leicht behandeln und die anisotropen Effekte werden mit Hilfe der Perturbations-Methode berechnet. Um die jeder Perturbations-Methode anhaftenden Fehler zu minimieren, sollte das gewählte isotrope Hintergrundmedium dem korrektem anisotropen Medium so ähnlich wie möglich sein. Zur Bestimmung des optimalen isotropen Mediums wurden Formeln für sektoriell best angepasste isotrope Medien entwickelt. Deren Anwendung wurde anhand von Modellen mit transversal isotropen und orthorombischen Symmetrien gezeigt...

    Description: The Aggregated Carbon Cycle, Atmospheric Chemistry, and Climate model (ACC2) (Tanaka and Kriegler et al., 2007a) describes physical-biogeochemical processes in the Earth system at a global-annual-mean level. Compared to its predecessors NICCS (Hooss, 2001) and ICM (Bruckner et al., 2003), ACC2 adopts more detailed parameterizations of atmospheric chemistry involving a set of agents (CO2, CH4, N2O, O3, SF6, 29 species of halocarbons, sulfate aerosols (direct effect), carbonaceous aerosols (direct effect), all aerosols (indirect effect), stratospheric H2O, OH, and pollutants NOx, CO, and VOC). In contrast to the Impulse Response Function (IRF) approaches in the predecessor models, ACC2 uses DOECLIM (Kriegler, 2005), a land-ocean Energy Balance Model (EBM), to calculate temperature change. The carbon cycle is described by box models based on the IRF approach. A temperature feedback is newly implemented to ocean and land CO2 uptake. The most novel aspect of ACC2 is its inverse estimation, the first attempt to estimate uncertain parameters simultaneously for the carbon cycle, atmospheric chemistry, and climate system by taking their interactions into account. Theoretical underpinning of the ACC2 inversion is the probabilistic inverse estimation theory (Tarantola, 2005), which characterizes the ACC2 inversion as an integration of the existing Earth system knowledge. This includes parameter estimates, observational databases, reconstructions, and physical-biogeochemical laws...

    Description: Aim of the study was to test the capability of multiple trace gas analyses for the assessment of regional carbon budgets. Therefore, air samples were taken by airborne and ground level activities during several field campaigns within Europe. Basic elements for the data acquisition were the development of an adapted sampling system and of an enhanced investigation strategy. By the study important processes like insufficient mixing and advection were identified which could seriously effect the measurements and thus the calculated budgets. The concluding results prompt for improvements regarding appropriate flux estimation techniques and application of the enhanced investigation strategy within a frame of combined measurement activities.

    Description: The southeastern Mediterranean Sea and the northern section of Egypt constitutes one of the most complex tectonic areas in the Mediterranean. This study is an attempt to achieve a better understanding of tectonics, and geodynamical processes along a complex tectonization region. These include crustal structure, thickness of sediments, transition between oceanic and continental crust and regional integrated model of the gravity field observed. A wide range of field work from the geophysical data has been acquired and used in this study with respect to the gravity and magnetic data as well as the results of deep seismic soundings. A comparison between the marine gravity data and the gravity data derived from satellite altimetry was made to ensure that the marine gravity data compiled from different marine surveys were compatible...

    Description: Context Extragalactic absorbers with column densities exceeding NH I 〉 2 × 1020 hydrogen atoms cm-2 are generally termed damped Ly alpha (DLA) systems. The absorbers are basically comprised of predominantly neutral gas, which is an essential prerequisite for the formation of stars. The spectroscopy of absorbers offers the best possibility to study the chemical composition of the supposed equivalents of the interstellar medium of local galaxies at an earlier stage of cosmic evolution. Absorbers in the sub-DLA range with NH I 〉 1019 cm-2 may consist of predominantly neutral gas, if the cosmic UV background is reduced...

    Description: With the last generation of X-ray satellites, such as XMM-Newton and Chandra, our knowledge about the X-ray properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has greatly improved. Detailed spectroscopy and long-term observations of hundreds of kilo-seconds have provided new insights into the mechanisms of X-ray production, its modification by intervening matter, and X-ray variability. In this thesis I present radiative transfer modeling of AGN in the Far-UV and X-ray range. The modeling considers several aspects of the observed X-ray properties: the Compton reflection/reprocessed component, X-ray variability and flares, and the effects of the warm absorber. For the X-ray reprocessing, I investigate in detail the magnetic flare model assuming solar-like magnetic reconnections above the accretion disk

    Description: PHOENIX has been used to calculate model atmospheres of classical novae in the X-ray spectral range. The models account for an expanding, one-dimensional spherically symmetric medium in full non-local thermodynamic equilibrium. Nova atmospheres have been modeled with PHOENIX since the early 90's to fit the early nova spectra in the ultraviolet and infrared spectral ranges. In this work the PHOENIX-code has been enhanced to also model X-ray spectra. This was accomplished by accounting for atomic data and physical processes. The synthetic spectra were compared to observations from the LETGS onboard the CHANDRA X-ray satellite. The template is the observation of nova V4743 Sagittarii in March 2003. The spectrum is very spectacular because of the nova brightness and CHANDRA's spectral resolution. Further observations from July2003, September 2003, and February 2004 were taken. Models with solar and non-solar abundances have been calculated and the synthetic spectra have been fitted to the four observations. The fits were used to discuss discrepancies between models and observations. The effective temperature of the atmosphere, the hydrogen column density, and the abundances ofhelium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and iron in the shell were determined by the fits. It was examined how the parameters evolve with time. With the models the atmosphere structure and NLTE effects were determined.

    Description: The Sun shows a variety of transient surface features which are summarized as solar activity. Activity phenomena, apparently similar to the solar case, are also observed on stars other than the Sun. Stellar activity is closely related to magneto-hydrodynamic processes in a stars̉ convection zone. A dynamo is believed to operate in the outer convection zone of solar-like stars, generating magnetic fields by complex motions of the convecting plasma under the influence of rotation. Differential (i.e. non-rigid) rotation of the stellar surface is an important indicator of the overall dynamics of a stars̉ outer convection zone. Sunspots are a conspicuous token of solar activity; dark spots can also be observed on the surface of stars other than the Sun. To which degree starspots are analogues of sunspots is presently only poorly known; the processes governing their lifetime and structure are largely unexplored. Doppler imaging overcomes the diffraction-limitations of direct and interferometric imaging techniques by making use of information that is modulated into a star’s spectrum due to its rotation. Doppler imaging is currently the only method to produce well-resolved images of solar-like stars. After a selective review of the observational and theoretical foundation,

    Description: Reflection seismic is one of the most commonly used geophysical method for the oil and gas exploration. In this thesis I show the application of the Common Reflection Surface (CRS) stack technique to improve the quality of reflection seismic images. Conventional seismic imaging method based on the CMP stacking does not use the full potential of the dataset due to reflection point dispersal in the presence of dipping reflectors or laterally inhomogeneous media. Application of the CRS stack technique is advantageous in complex areas, since it involves information about the shape of seismic reflectors, i.e., dip and curvature, into processing. Moreover, a multiparameter formula allows to sum up more traces during the stack. All together, this leads to better imaging results, especially to an improvement of the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Reflection events in the CRS stack sections appear clearer and more continuous compared to conventional CMP stack sections...

    Description: Interpretation of high and very high resolution reflection seismic data from the western Black Sea shelf yielded a seismic stratigraphic model of the Late Quaternary deposits on the southwestern Black Sea shelf. This model was combined with borehole information to carry out a regional subsidence analysis, so that the influence of tectonics and sediment compaction could be ruled out in the estimation of sea-level changes in the Black Sea. Mio-Pliocene sediments form the baseline of the interpretation. On top of it four Quaternary seismic stratigraphic units were identified on the western Black Sea shelf; they are named in chronological order Unit 4 to Unit 1 (U4 U1). Pliocene deposits are built up by gently basinward dipping layers of relatively high and approximately uniform thickness. Buried graben structures attest to the influence of extensional tectonics until the Upper Pliocene. Later, strong erosion left a rugged surface on the inner and middle shelf that was later overlain by a thin layer of Quaternary to Holocene sediments. The Pliocene is followed by the oldest observed Quaternary seismic sequence (Unit 4, U4); it comprises layers of Lower Quaternary age that dip towards the basin at a steeper angle than those of the Pliocene. Within U4 the oldest of three Quaternary shelfedge delta systems in the study area was found, that supposedly marks an Early Quaternary sea-level lowstand...

    Description: For seismic imaging of complex 3-D structures by e.g. prestack Kirchhoff depth migration large amounts of traveltime tables are required. This work provides a wavefront-oriented ray tracing technique for multi-valued traveltimes in smooth 3-D heterogeneous anisotropic media. In this method, wavefronts are propagated stepwise through the model and output quantities are interpolate (e.g., traveltimes, slowness) from rays to gridpoints. In contrast to isotropic media, where the input is a velocity model, the model for an anisotropic medium is defined by 21 elastic parameters at each gridpoint. To provide an efficient, accurate and fast algorithm for the interpolation of the elastic parameters to arbitrary points, the Cardinal Spline interpolation has been used, which produces an interpolated function that is continuous through the second derivative. The insertion of a new ray is performed by tracing it directly from the source. To calculate traveltimes at gridpoints a distance-weighted averaging method is used. To demonstrate the accuracy of the method the traveltimes computed for a homogeneous anisotropic model with elliptical symmetry are compared to exact traveltimes available for this medium. Since it exists no analytical solution for an inhomogeneous anisotropic model, I compare the results with an alternative method for traveltime computation, the FD perturbation method...

    Description: Merapi volcano in Central Java, Indonesia, is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes worldwide. Due to the high viscosity of its magma, the lava emerging at the top the volcano cannot flow silently down the flanks of the volcano but builds a lava dome. An indicator for the stability of the lava dome are rockfalls and block and ash flows, which are caused by local instabilities at the dome. When the lava dome reaches a critical size, it collapses. This results in dangerous block and ash flows, which can reach several kilometers into the proximity of the volcano. In the past rockfall and block and ash flow activity has been observed visually or by seismic networks. However, visual observations are often impossible due to bad visibility conditions and until now seismic measurements allow only few insights into the dynamic processes that are involved in instability events, i.e. events of material breaks off the lava dome. In order to enhance monitoring of lava dome activity, a first prototype Doppler radar system has been installed at the western of the Merapi in October 2001. This system consists of a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) 24GHz Doppler radar. The Doppler spectra recorded by the system give a relative measure of the amount of material moving through the beam as well as information about its velocities. Because the radar system is insensitive for clouds, the system provides first continuous "quasi-visual" observations of dome instabilities...

    Description: In this thesis, the 1997 Vogtland/NW-Bohemia swarm has been selected for the analysis of inhomogeneities in the stress field because two predominant nearly perpendicular flat zones of seismicity are visible in the hypocentre distribution implying inhomogeneities in the stress field. This is unusual compared to other swarms originating from this area. An existing dataset of waveform data, P- and S-phase picks, and master event locations has been analysed regarding similarity of waveforms, location refinement, and estimation of relative moment tensors. The latter are used together with a regional dataset of 50 single focal mechanisms and 125 focal mechanisms from the 2000 hydraulic fracturing experiment at the KTB for an estimate of the regional homogeneous and the locally inhomogeneous stress field. An automated processing procedure consisting of coherence analysis,precise relocation, relative moment tensor inversion, and stress trajectory determination has been set up. The coherence analysis has been successfully applied using a new method that uses three component seismograms. 457 events are separated into 13 multiplets of similar waveforms of at least size 8. Another result are precise relative arrival time measurements which are fed into the precise relocation program "hypoDD". Two nearly perpendicular structures are found in the hypocentre distribution. 352 moment tensors are estimated using a relative moment tensor inversion. Three different algorithms to distinguish between fault plane and auxiliary plane are successfully applied to them...

    Description: Mittelozeanische Rücken finden sich in allen größeren Ozeanbecken der Erde. Sie besitzen die weltweit höchste Produktionsrate an Extrusiv- und Intrusivgesteinen. Bildung ozeanischer Kruste und Vulkanismus an divergenten Plattengrenzen sind fundamentale Prozesse, deren Grundverständnis wichtig ist. Magmatische Dykes bauen einen Großteil ozeanischer Kruste auf. Ihr Vorkommen ist besonders augenfällig im sogenannten Sheeted-Dyke-Komplex der oberen Kruste. In dieser Arbeit wird die Wechselwirkung zwischen Magmakammern und Dykes aufgrund von Spannungsfeldern untersucht. Die Ergebnisse werden zur Analyse ozeanischer Krustenbildung im allgemeinen und des Sheeted-Dyke-Komplexes im besonderen benutzt. Da nur wenig Daten über die Geologie mittelozeanischer Rücken und den Verlauf magmatischer Prozesse verfügbar sind und analytische Modelle zumeist an der Berücksichtigung inhomogener Medien und heterogener Spannungsfelder scheitern, stellen numerische Modelle ein wichtiges Werkzeug zur weiteren Erforschung dieser Abläufe dar. Um den Aufstieg von Dykes als Fortbewegung fluidgefüllter Risse zu berechnen, wurde eine Randelementmethode verwendet. Modelle für den Magmaaufstieg im Mantel müssen sowohl die hohen Transportgeschwindigkeiten als auch die Trennung von Schmelze und Mantelgestein zur Verhinderung chemischer Ausgleichsreaktionen und die Fokussierung des Magmas von der breiten Schmelzzone in der Tiefe zur schmalen Austrittszone an der Rückenachse leisten...

    Description: During several marine geophysical data acquisition cruises in the western Baltic Sea, for the Baltseis and NeoBaltic projects, a dense grid of 2D high-resolution multichannel seismics and to some extend gravity and magnetic data were acquired in the German and Danish territorial waters of the region. The western Baltic Sea comprises the northern part of the Northeast German Basin on the southern flank of the Ringkøbing-Fyn High. Furthermore, parts of the suture zone between the Avalonia and Baltica plates (the Caledonian Deformation Front) and the Sorgenfrei Tornquist Zone were investigated during these research cruises. Adjacent to the study area two structures are located, which are important for the structural evolution in the region. To the west the N-S trending Glückstadt Graben and in the eastern part the E-W running Grimmen High...

    Description: In this study different full waveform techniques was developed for the investigation of seismic ocean bottom single station data. These techniques were applied to data obtained in a pilot ocean bottom experiment in the Tyrrhenian Sea/Italy (TySea experiment) from December 2000 to May 2001. A network of broadband seven ocean bottom seismometers and seven ocean bottom hydrophones was installed above the subducting Ionian plate which descends from Southeast to Northwest. Local and teleseismic earthquakes were recorded by the stations. The newly developed techniques produce very promising results in reconstructing the sea floor structure beneath the stations and in attenuating waveform effects generated by water layer multiples. Additionally the techniques offer a possibility to determine the orientation of free fall ocean bottom seismometers. The main results are: 1. The waveform recorded at the seafloor differs from waveforms recorded at land stations. This is primarily due to multiple reflections in the water layer. These multiple reflections show different patterns on seismometer and hydrophone recordings depending on the seafloor structure. This opens the possibility to constrain the P-wave velocity structure beneath the station by means of a full waveform inversion...

    Description: This work presents multichannel seismic and hydroacoustic data of four survey areas along the Red Sea Rift and the Dead Sea Transform Fault. Sedimentary Basins that developed due to the rifting of the Red Sea and the strike-slip displacement of the Dead Sea Transform Fault were investigated and models for their evolution were derived. The Red Sea Rift and the Dead Sea Transform Fault are the main tectonic features in the Middle East. The rifting process of the Red Sea that initiated in the late Oligocene and early Miocene separated the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Middle Miocene, the extension was compensated in the northern part of the Red Sea with the initiation of the left lateral Dead Sea Transform Fault. Along the Red Sea, different stages of evolution can be observed. Whereas the southern part comprises already seafloor spreading, the northern part is assumed to be in the late stage of continental rifting. Because of huge evaporitic sediment layers within the entire Red Sea, direct basement observations are sparse. Surficial features like ocean deeps along the axis of the Red Sea are interpreted as first seafloor spreading cells in the transition process between seafloor spreading and continental rifting. Along the Dead Sea Transform Fault, 105 km of left lateral displacement are observed within the last 20 Ma. The displacement is most likely not continuous since its onset. The Dead Sea Transform Fault may have experienced a break in its history before 5 Ma...

    Description: The purpose of the first part of this dissertation was to develop a migration algorithm for converted waves, and a tomographic method for estimating an interval shear wave velocity model. The developed algorithm is based on the Kirchhoff formalism. The elastic Kirchhoff integral and its implementation were discussed and summarised in Chapter 2. The derived migration integral was generalised for all types of multicomponent data. For practical reasons, multicomponent data are decomposed into their corresponding components (z,x, and y components), and the migration is performed separately for each component. Normally it is assumed that the decomposed wave components are free from other wave types. The migration result of each component shows particular characteristics of the subsurface. For example, PS data give the shear wave characteristics of the subsurface...

    Description: This work presents the first three-dimensional gravity and magnetic investigation along the convergent Peruvian margin. Three-dimensional magnetic modelling is still a relatively untried and challenging technique. The gravity and magnetic models image nearly the whole margin which has been only partly resolved with geophysical methods up to now. The gravity and magnetic models are constructed for three areas between 7.25ʿS and 16.75ʿS and are based on the available wide-angle seismic velocity models (Hampel et al., 2002a; Broser et al., 2002). The continental margin is characterised by positive free-air anomalies of varying amplitudes, indicating that the margin has been shaped by the subduction of different features on the Nazca Plate...

    Description / Table of Contents: Reservoir compartmentalization - the segregation of a petroleum accumulation into a number of individual fluid/pressure compartments - controls the volume of moveable oil or gas that might be connected to any given well drilled in a field, and consequently impacts ‘booking’ of reserves and operational profitability. This is a general feature of modern exploration and production portfolios, and has driven major developments in geoscience, engineering and related technology. Given that compartmentalization is a consequence of many factors, an integrated subsurface approach is required to better understand and predict compartmentalization behaviour, and to minimize the risk of it occurring unexpectedly. This volume reviews our current understanding and ability to model compartmentalization. It highlights the necessity for effective specialist discipline integration, and the value of learning from operational experience in: detection and monitoring of compartmentalization; stratigraphic and mixed-mode compartmentalization; and fault-dominated compartmentalization.

    Description / Table of Contents: This volume honours the career of Brian F. Windley, who has been hugely influential in helping to achieve our current understanding of the evolution of the continental crust, and who has inspired many students and scientists to pursue studies on the evolution of the continents. Brian has studied processes of continental formation and evolution on most continents and of all ages, and has educated and inspired two generations of geologists to undertake careers in studies of continental evolution. The volume is organized into six sections, including: oceanic and island arc systems and continental growth; tectonics of accretionary orogens and continental growth; growth and stabilization of continental crust; collisions and intraplate processes; Precambrian tectonics and the birth of continents; and active tectonics and geomorphology of continental collision and growth zones.

    Description / Table of Contents: Natural stone is considered to be a versatile, durable and aesthetically pleasing building material. From the beginning of civilization, important structures and monuments have been built from, or based on, natural stone. Until the end of the nineteenth century, the use of local stone resources was mostly in balance with the local environment. Strict environmental legislation has resulted in the closing of many long-standing quarries in industrialized countries, which has led to a shortage of traditional stone varieties. This has caused problems for restoration practice. Cheap, imported stone from less industrialized countries has become more widely available in recent years. Some of the issues related to built stone conservation and restoration covered by this volume are: the establishment of inventories of possible replacement stones; understanding the decay mechanism and use of preventive conservation methods for slowing down decay processes; evaluation of the properties of natural stone; and assessing the risks of using replacement stones of different qualities.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Mesozoic Era begins with the approximately 50-million-year-long Triassic Period, a major juncture in Earth history when the vast Pangaean supercontinent completed its assembly and began its fragmentation, and the global biota diversified and modernized after the end-Permian mass extinction, the most extensive biotic decimation of the Phanerozoic. The temporal ordering of geological and biotic events during Triassic time thus is critical to the interpretation of some unique and pivotal events in Earth history. This temporal ordering is mostly based on the Triassic timescale, which has been developed and refined for nearly two centuries. This book reviews the state of the art of the Triassic timescale and includes comprehensive analyses of Triassic radio-isotopic ages, magnetostratigraphy, isotope-based and cyclostratigraphic correlations and timescale -relevant marine and non-marine biostratigraphy.

    Description / Table of Contents: This volume contains a collection of stratigraphic and diagenetic case studies of Mesozoic and Cenozoic carbonate sequences from the Tethyan realm. High levels of industry and academic interest in the region have generated numerous multi-disciplinary studies of these sequences, a selection of which are presented in this volume. The studies presented are based on both comprehensive subsurface datasets from important hydrocarbon-bearing strata of the Middle East and the excellent surface exposures in the region of interest. The studies presented in this volume may serve as suitable starting points in the development of age and architecture specific carbonate reference models. Such models can form the basis of internally consistent models for carbonate deposition, sequence development and reservoir performance. Ideally such models, suitably scaled, will be equally applicable to academic studies, the exploration and development phases of the field life cycle and in the prediction of future reservoir performance.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Earth's climate varies through geological time as a result of external, orbital processes, as well as the positions of continents, growth of mountains and the opening and closure of oceanic gateways. Climate modelling suggests that the intensity of the Asian monsoon should correlate, at least in part, with the uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya, as well as the evolution of gateways and the retreat of shallow seas in Central Asia. Long-term reconstructions of both mountain building and monsoon activity are key to testing the proposed links. This collection of papers presents a series of new studies documenting the variations of the Asian monsoon on orbital and tectonic timescales, together with the impact this has had on environmental conditions. The issue of which proxies are best suited to measuring monsoons is addressed, as is the effect that the monsoon has had on erosion and the formation of the stratigraphic record both on and offshore.

    Description / Table of Contents: This volume combines original data in various fields from the offshore Levant Basin and adjacent continental slopes and platforms. The first group of papers document the tectonic structures and sedimentological patterns associated with the development of the Levant Basin. They identify the successive rifting events from the Late Palaeozoic to the Early Cretaceous, followed by a moderate tectonic activity. The contribution of external factors like global sea-level and climate changes to the sedimentation processes during the Mid-Cretaceous is discussed in the second set of papers. The final group presents new kinematics and age constraints on the Late Cretaceous to Neogene tectonic phases and discusses the relationship of the structures with the closure of the Neo-Tethys and separation of the Arabia plate. This collection of research papers demonstrates new concepts on the opening and crustal thinning of the Levant Basin and gives updated interpretations of the latter tectonic structures of the Levant.

    Description / Table of Contents: The world's mountain ranges are the clearest manifestations of long-term deformation of the continental crust. As such they have attracted geological investigations for centuries. Throughout this long history of research a few keynote publications stand out. One of the most important is the Geological Survey's 1907 Memoir on The Geological Structure of the North-West Highlands of Scotland. The Memoir summarized some of the Geological Survey's finest work, and outlined many of the principles of field-based structural and tectonic analysis that have subsequently guided generations of geologists working in other mountain belts, both ancient and modern. The thematic set of 32 papers in this Special Publication celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1907 Memoir by placing the original findings in both historical and modern contexts, and juxtaposing them against present-day studies of deformation processes operating not only in the NW Highlands, but also in other mountain belts.

    Description / Table of Contents: The invasion of the land by plants (‘terrestrialization’) was one of the most significant evolutionary events in the history of life on Earth, and correlates in time with periods of major palaeoenvironmental perturbations. The development of a vegetation cover on the previously barren land surfaces impacted on the global biogeochemical cycles and the geological processes of erosion and sediment transport. The terrestrialization of plants preceded the rise of major new groups of animals, such as insects and tetrapods, the latter numbering some 24 000 living species, including ourselves. Early land-plant evolution also correlates with the most spectacular decline of atmospheric CO2 concentration of Phanerozoic times and with the onset of a protracted period of glacial conditions on Earth. This book includes a selection of papers covering different aspects of the terrestrialization, from palaeobotany to vertebrate palaeontology and geochemistry, promoting a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of the co-evolution of life and its environments during Early to Mid-Palaeozoic times.

    Description / Table of Contents: Limestone is a highly successful and widely used building material, found in many important historic buildings and new monuments around the world. Whilst its success reflects its durability under a wide range of environmental conditions, there are still important questions surrounding the selection, use and conservation of building limestones. In order to make best use of new limestone today, and to conserve old limestone most effectively, we need to bring modern research methods to bear on understanding the characteristics of different limestones, what mortars to use, and how key limestones have responded to polluted atmospheres.

    Description / Table of Contents: Fjords are glacially over-deepened, semi-enclosed marine basins, but are often neglected as a sedimentary realm. They represent the transition from the terrestrial to the marine environment and as such have the potential to preserve evidence of environmental change. Typically most fjords have been glaciated a number of times and some high-latitude fjords still possess a resident glacier. The stratigraphic record in fjords largely preserves a glacial–deglacial cycle of deposition. Sheltered water and high sedimentation rates potentially make fjords ideal depositional environments for preserving continuous records of climate and environmental change with high temporal resolution. Fjords are also referred to as miniature oceans providing the unique opportunity to study marine processes in great detail. With predictions of warming climates, changing ocean circulation and rising sea levels, this volume is a timely look at these environmentally sensitive coastlines.

    Description / Table of Contents: Elevation data are a critical element in most geoscience applications. From geological mapping to modelling Earth systems and processes geologists need to understand the shape of the Earth's surface. Vast amounts of digital elevation data exist, from large-scale global to smaller scale regional datasets, and many datasets have been merged to improve scale and accuracy. For each application, decisions are made on which elevation data to use driven by cost, resolution and accuracy. This publication shows the current status of available digital elevation data and illustrates the key applications. The types of data assessed include: ASTER stereo satellite imagery, Shuttle Radar Topographic Mapping data, airborne laser and radar such as NEXTMap, and Multibeam Bathymetry. Applications covered include: glacial deposits, landslides, coastal erosion and other geological hazards. Technical issues discussed include: accuracy analysis, derived product creation, software comparisons and copyright considerations. This volume is a comprehensive look at elevation models for geoscience.

    Description / Table of Contents: The discovery of dinosaurs and other large extinct ‘saurians’ - a term under which the Victorians commonly lumped ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and their kin - makes exciting reading and has caught the attention of palaeontologists, historians of science and the general public alike. The papers in this collection go beyond the familiar tales about famous ‘fossil hunters’ and focus on relatively little-known episodes in the discovery and interpretation (from both a scientific and an artistic point of view) of dinosaurs and other inhabitants of the Mesozoic world. They cover a long time span, from the beginnings of ‘modern’ scientific palaeontology in the 1700s to the present, and deal with many parts of the world, from the Yorkshire coast to Central India, from Bavaria to the Sahara. The characters in these stories include professional palaeontologists and geologists (some of them well-known, others quite obscure), explorers, amateur fossil collectors, and artists, linked together by their interest in Mesozoic creatures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Several different databases and models have been developed over many years of petrological study carried out by several European and non-European groups on mantle xenoliths, peridotite massifs, ophiolites and mafic magmas spanning in age from Archaean to Recent times. This volume aims to bring together these different approaches and to integrate the geochemical perceptions of the European upper mantle. The papers include regional petrological studies of the European lithospheric mantle, from Spain to the Pannonian Basin, from Corsica and Serbia as far north as Svalbard. Six contributions are based on studies of mantle xenoliths, while the remaining three deal with ophiolitic and peridotitic complexes. A further article provides an update on the textural classification of mantle rocks using a computer-aided approach and there is an introductory overview.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Zagros fold-thrust belt (ZFTB) extends from Turkey to the Hormuz Strait, resulting from the collision of the Arabian and Eurasian plates during Cenozoic times, and separates the Arabian platform from the large plateaux of central Iran. To the east a pronounced syntaxis marks the transition between the Zagros collision belt and the Makran accretionary wedge. In the ZFTB, the Proterozoic to Recent stratigraphic succession pile is involved in huge folds, and offers the opportunity to study the stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of the Palaeo-Tethyan margin. Few recent data were widely available on the southern Tethys margin preserved in the Zagros Mountains. The Middle East Basins Evolution (MEBE) program was an excellent opportunity to go back to the field and to collect new data to better constrain the evolution of this margin. In this volume the structure of the Zagros Mountains is explored through different scales and using different methodologies.

    Description / Table of Contents: Onshore fold–thrust belts are commonly perceived as ‘difficult’ places to explore for hydrocarbons and are therefore often avoided. However, these belts host large oil and gas fields and so these barriers to effective exploration mean that substantial unexploited resources may remain. Over time, evaluation techniques have improved. It is possible in certain circumstances to achieve good 3D seismic data. Structural restoration techniques have moved into the 3D domain and increasingly sophisticated palaeo-thermal indicators allow better modelling of burial and uplift evolution of source and reservoirs. Awareness of the influence of pre-thrust structure and stratigraphy and of hybrid thick and thin-skinned deformation styles is augmenting the simplistic geometric models employed in earlier exploration. But progress is a slow, expensive and iterative process. Industry and academia need to collaborate in order to develop and continually improve the necessary understanding of subsurface geometries, reservoir and charge evolution and timing; this publication offers papers on specific techniques, outcrop and field case studies.

    Description / Table of Contents: This wide area of the Alpine–Himalayan belt evolved through a series of tectonic events related to the opening and closure of the Tethys Ocean. In doing so it produced the largest mountain belt of the world, which extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. The basins associated with this belt contain invaluable information related to mountain building processes and are the locus of rich hydrocarbon accumulations. However, knowledge about the geological evolution of the region is limited compared to what they offer. This has been mainly due to the difficulty and inaccessibility of cross-country studies. This Special Publication is dedicated to the part of the Alpine–Himalayan belt running from Bulgaria to Armenia, and from Ukraine to the Arabian Platform. It includes twenty multidisciplinary studies covering topics in structural geology/tectonics; geophysics; geochemistry; palaeontology; petrography; sedimentology; stratigraphy; and subsidence and lithospheric modelling. This volume reports results obtained during the MEBE (Middle East Basin Evolution) Programme and related projects in the circum Black Sea and peri-Arabian regions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Our understanding of calcium carbonate precipitation within freshwater carbonate systems is being revolutionized by new quantitative approaches at both field and laboratory scale. These systems cover a diverse range of topical research areas including tufas, speleothems, stromatolites and microbial processes. Progress by various international research groups has been impressive, with major contributions to such areas as climate change, absolute dating, carbon sequestration, and biofilm construction and precipitation. A diverse sample of interrelated research is presented that provides a tantalizing glimpse of the interplay between microbial, geochemical and physical processes that control the development of tufas and speleothems. This volume will provide a cross-disciplinary platform that will stimulate further exchanges about new concepts, methodologies and interpretations associated with freshwater carbonates. In particular, it will help reinforce the importance of cross-discipline research: the driving force behind the new field of Geobiology.
