Timing of late- to post Variscan magmatic rocks of the Erzgebirge

Using high-precision zircon U–Pb CA-ID-TIMS geochronology, we determined the ages of late- to post-Variscan granites across the Erzgebirge and the Lausitz and reconstructed the timing of magmatic activity.

Evolution and Correlation of Late Carboniferous-early Permian basins of Central Europe

Within a variety of different Late Carboniferous to early Permian Basins we applied high-precision zircon U–Pb CA-ID-TIMS geochronology to establish accurate temporal frameworks for these basin systems and to improve the regional correlation.

Rare-metal enrichment in carbonatite-bearing magmatic systems

The project investigates the evolution of carbonatite magmatic systems in the Kola Alkaline Province (Russia), one of the world’s most important regions for alkaline–carbonatite magmatism and critical raw material deposits.
