Subject description:
Temporal and Spatial Evolution of the Lower Triassic Buntsandstein Formation
The Buntsandstein Formation consists of thick Triassic siliciclastic deposits that occur widely in the Germanic and Paris Basins. The Vosges Mountains and the Upper Rhine Graben make it possible to study this unit in extensive outcrops and in the subsurface by using core samples. The combination of these methods favors the interpretation of a depositional model and enables a better understanding of the sedimentological and stratigraphic conditions in the subsurface geothermal reservoir.
The doctoral project aims to reconstruct the temporal and spatial evolution of the Grès Vosgien and Conglomérat Principal (Middle Buntsandstein, Lower Triassic) and understand the relationship between depositional environments and the geothermal reservoir.
Research interests:
Sedimentology; Stratigraphy; Fluvial systems; Fluvial-eolian interaction; Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimate reconstruction.
