Dissertations

The Department of Applied Sediment Geology carries out a large number of dissertations as part of its projects. These are regionally, nationally and internationally involved and are carried out by an international team of doctoral students. During the multi-year process, the doctoral students have to independently work on the projects in the field, in the laboratory and at the institute and give several presentations within the working group, but also at the institute and at congresses.

Here you will find a list of current and completed dissertations:
