Alexander Malz

Alexander Malz is a Researcher at the Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Georg-August University of Göttingen. His work focuses on contractional intraplate deformation, inversion structures, and kinematic development in Central Europe, using quantified structural models aligned with field data. He holds a PhD from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (2014) and a Diploma in Geology (2010).

Education:

• PhD in Geology, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (2014)
• Diploma in Geology, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (2010)

Research Interests: His studies emphasize the structural evolution of contractional systems, particularly detachment thrusts and inversion tectonics. He integrates seismic data and restoration techniques to analyze fold-and-thrust belts, with fieldwork in the Jura Mountains and Thuringian Basin.

Publications: Recent works explore thrust front dynamics, seismic interpretation challenges, and mineralization processes. His analyses bridge structural geology with geodynamic principles, often focusing on rheological dependencies in orogenic systems.

Scientific Awards: No awards explicitly mentioned.
