The decision to resurrect such an old document was brought about by two things. Firstly, the realisation that my confidence in the permanence of digitally stored data such as word processing documents and graphics files was misplaced. With time, and changing technology, files become redundant and no longer accessible. Consequently, if I had not acted soon, it seemed there would only be a few paper records of this thesis remaining. Secondly, I had noticed a few citations of this work in the published literature, prompting me to wonder how on earth anyone knew of its existence, let alone its content. An integrated, pdf version of the entire original document will now, hopefully, be available electronically at the library of the Facult´e des Sciences, Universit´edeNeuchˆatel, in permanence.

    Connecting Quartz Fluid Inclusion, Fissure Monazite Age, and Fissure

    Gnos et al. Swiss J Geosci (2021) 114:14 https://doi.org/10.1186/s00015-021-00391-9 Swiss Journal of Geosciences ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Episodes of fssure formation in the Alps: connecting quartz fuid inclusion, fssure monazite age, and fssure orientation data Edwin Gnos1* , Josef Mullis2, Emmanuelle Ricchi3, Christian A. Bergemann4, Emilie Janots5 and Alfons Berger6 Abstract Fluid assisted Alpine fssure-vein and cleft formation starts at prograde, peak or retrograde metamorphic conditions of 450–550 °C and 0.3–0.6 GPa and below, commonly at conditions of ductile to brittle rock deformation. Early-formed fssures become overprinted by subsequent deformation, locally leading to a reorientation. Deformation that follows fssure formation initiates a cycle of dissolution, dissolution/reprecipitation or new growth of fssure minerals enclos- ing fuid inclusions. Although fssures in upper greenschist and amphibolite facies rocks predominantly form under retrograde metamorphic conditions, this work confrms that the carbon dioxide fuid zone correlates with regions of highest grade Alpine metamorphism, suggesting carbon dioxide production by prograde devolatilization reac- tions and rock-bufering of the fssure-flling fuid. For this reason, fuid composition zones systematically change in metamorphosed and exhumed nappe stacks from diagenetic to amphibolite facies metamorphic rocks from saline fuids dominated by higher hydrocarbons, methane, water and carbon dioxide. Open fssures are in most cases oriented roughly perpendicular to the foliation and lineation of the host rock. The type of fuid constrains the habit of the very frequently crystallizing quartz crystals. Open fssures also form in association with more localized strike-slip faults and are oriented perpendicular to the faults.

    Abstract Title

    16th Swiss Geoscience Meeting, Bern 2018 Relationships of banded amphibolites and Ordovician orthogneisses in pre-Variscan basements of the Alps Roger Zurbriggen Feldmatt 10, CH-6206 Neuenkirch ([email protected]) Despite of the individual character of each of the pre-Variscan basement units of the Alps, they show analogous formations (paragneisses, migmatites, peraluminous orthogneisses, and amphibolites) and structures indicating similar genetic processes. There is consensus regarding the protoliths of the gneisses and migmatites. But the protoliths of the amphibolites are under discussion because their age is largely unknown and original structures often are overprinted by Variscan and Alpine tectonics. However, the amphibolites (i) are typically banded from millimeter to meter-scale (in all units; e.g., Fig. 1a), (ii) are intercalated with para- and orthogneisses on a map-scale (especially in the Aar massif and Silvretta nappe), (iii) can vary in percentage from 3 area% (Strona- Ceneri zone) to 22 area% (Silvretta nappe), (iv) are associated with metagabbros, meta-ultramafics and (meta-) eclogites (in all units), (v) can be migmatic and occur within migmatite formations (Aar massif). Most studies interpret the banded amphibolites as members of an ophiolite sequence (due to their MORB signature and association with eclogites and ultramafic rocks) or bimodal metavolcanics (due to their compositional banding). Both tectonic settings are supported by case studies. But from a general perspective of subduction-accretion tectonics of the Ordovician orogeny (Fig. 1b and Zurbriggen 2017) they cannot serve as main setting due to following reasons: A clear ubiquitous ophiolite stratigraphy is lacking and obduction is the exception rather than the rule in accretionary complexes.

SECURING SAFETY Resilience time as a hidden critical factor Willem R. Beukenkamp Cover illustration by W.R. Beukenkamp September 24, 2009 two freight trains and a passenger train collided at Barendrecht, south of Rotterdam. Time was an important safety critical factor in this fatal accident.

    Integrating Fire Safety and Law

    PRINCIPLES OF THE SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET: INTEGRATING FIRE SAFETY AND LAW Bernd R. Beier, University of applied sciences Kempten and Munich, Germany Abstract Integrating the European market has represented a challenge for both technical and legal participants. Economic proponents of the single market combine a misunderstanding of the USA experience with a sometimes incorrect belief that technical tests are always adequate to ensure safety. The Kaprun disaster shows the problem of a mismatch between the desires of products and the capability of regulators. The unified market can create the problem that a product assembled from components that are underspecified may create new problems that are not captured by the regulatory system. This problem is especially aggravated when products come from producers with different technical cultures who may not understand the limitations of the regulatory test and assume that all products that pass the test are safe. Unless all parties in the regulatory process understand the limitations of the unified market and regulators retain their legal power and administrative role in safety it is possible to create disaster despite compliance with CE standards. One possibility is to refocus local regulators on the integrated safety of the completed building. Analogies to other EC directives suggest what may be a useful approach. The “single European market” is both a product of the EU and a major rationale for it. But integrating the European market has represented a challenge for both technical and legal participants. The overall goal is to “harmonize” all regulations, guidelines, based in the ideology of the “freedom” of the market as absolutely far as possible.
