Über uns

We are pleased to inform you that an article led by Nevena on "Contributions of arid climate and hydrothermal fluid flowon sedimentation in saline-alkaline lakes: Insight from theIbar intramontane basin (Southern Serbia)"  is now published and available online.

This work is a collaboration between Nevena from our group and Benjamin F. Walter (Univ. Tübingen), Vladimir Simić (University of Belgrade), Mohsin Raza (KIT),  Dragana Životić (University of Belgrade), Željana Novković (MMI Bor Mining and Metallurgy, Bor,Serbia), Jochen Kolb (KIT), Axel Gerdes and Aratz Beranoaguirre (Goethe- Universität Frankfurt)

This study highlights the importance of the tectonics of the collisional orogens and associated processes, arid climate and basin hydro-logical regime on the deposition of B, Ca- rich deposits in saline-alkaline lakes. 

Nevena, Giridas, Robert attended the EGU General Assembly conference in Vienna from 27th April to 3rd May 2025.

Nevena co-hosted a session on tectonics" TS2.7 Alpine-Mediterranean Tectonics: Subduction, Continental Collision, Magmatism and Volcanism" and  presented  a poster  on " The role of the arid climate and hydrothermal fluids in depositional processes in saline alkaline lakes: inferences from Ibar intramountain basin (Serbia)"

Giridas presented  two posters on his postdoc work: 1 ) "Slow Propagation of Slab Tearing at Collisional Boundaries: Implications for Foreland Basin Evolution and Adjacent Mountain Uplift" and 2)  "Relative role of slab tearing and oblique continental collision in along-strike mountain growth: Insights from 3D thermo-mechanical modeling"
 

Robert presented an oral presentation on his PhD work on " Depositional evolution of the Valjevo-Mionica Basin (Internal Dinarides, Serbia) revealed through U-Pb zircon dating: correlation with regional tectonics and Miocene climate change "
 

TT. Prof. Dr. Nevena Tomašević, head of the General Geology Research Group at KIT, has been featured as a role model for women in science. Her journey highlights the challenges of balancing career and family, a barrier many #Frauen (women) face in #Wissenschaft (science).

To promote #Chancengleichheit ((equal opportunity)), KIT’s tenure-track professorship offers predictable, transparent career paths for young scientists. Dr. Tomašević is paving the way on this path, inspiring others to pursue leadership in STEM.

Lucas Eskens successfully defended his PhD thesis on 12.02.2025 and is now Dr. Eskens. Congratualtions! Lucas's PhD focused on the "Along-strike variable pro-foreland basins: a case study of the Alps-Molasse Basin system". 

We are pleased to announce that a new article entitled "Spatiotemporal Growth of Seismic-Scale Syn-Flexural Normal Faults in the German Molasse Basin" is published from our group in journal Basin Research. 

This work is a collaboration between  Lucas and Nevena  from our group and A. Kumar (GFZ Potsdam), M.  Scheck-Wenderoth (GFZ Potsdam).
