Characteristics of wildfires in the Eastern Alps

2022
<p>The Eastern Alps are an important tourist destination and attract many visitors every year for their scenic beauty, sports attractions and rich cultural heritage. Tourism is an important source of income and contributes to the revival or maintenance of local traditions.

Plate tectonics in the Eastern Alps

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1975
Abstract The weight of the geological evidence, which includes the recognition of a late Cretaceous paired metamorphic belt, suggests that a southward dipping subduction zone existed in the Eastern Alps. On this basis a new plate tectonic model is presented for the post-Palaeozoic evolution of that orogen.

Oceanic mafic rocks in the Eastern Alps

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1975
The Eastern Alps in Austria have been interpreted as a pile of thrust sheets resulting from the collision of two continental masses. The only remains of the ocean-floor which may once have separated these continents could be the highly deformed greenschists, metasediments and serpentinites found in the lower thrust sheets.

Exhumation of the Tauern window, Eastern Alps

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part A: Solid Earth and Geodesy, 1999
Abstract The exhumation of metamorphic domes within orogenic belts is exemplified by the Tauern window in the Eastern Alps. There, the exhumation is related to partitioning of final orogenic shortening into deep-seated thrusts, near-surface antiformal bending forming brachyanticlines, and almost orogen-parallel strike-slip faults due to oblique ...

Active tectonics of the eastern Southern Alps

2023
Current tectonic activity in the eastern Southern Alps is driven by the ongoing collision of Adria with Europe at a rate of ca. 2-3 mm/yr. While the South Alpine Front is well-studied, the deformation in the hinterland of the orogenic front is still not well-understood.

Palaeogeography of the Eastern Tauern Window (Eastern Alps, Austria)

The Tauern Windows in the Eastern Alps is one of the most spectacular tectonic window, which formed after opening and closure of the Alpine Tethys between Europe and the Adriatic micro-continent. The herein described paleogeographical model is based on a new lithostratigraphic unit, the Wörth Formation, which formed as a local Jurassic black ...

Incised relict landscapes in the eastern Alps

Geomorphology, 2014
Abstract We investigate landscape evolution in a region of the Alps that has escaped glacial erosion during periodic glaciations of the last million years. The research is thus suited to investigate landscaping processes on a longer time scale at the eastern end of the Alps.

Metamorphism and metallogeny in the Eastern Alps

Mineralium Deposita, 1999
The two Alpine orogenic phases of the Eastern Alps, in the Cretaceous and in the Tertiary, were both accompanied by the formation of mineral deposits. However, subduction-related magmatic belts as well as the typical “Andean” ore deposits are missing. Therefore, the role of metamorphism in East Alpine metallogeny was tentatively explored for more than ...

Cathodoluminescence of magnesite:Examples from the Eastern Alps

Geology, 1991
Although Cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy is routinely used in studies of carbonate diagenesis, this technique is rarely applied to the petrographic study of magnesitic rocks. Encouraging results, however, were obtained from very low grade metamorphic magnesite samples from the Eastern Alps.
