Supplementary Notes In the main the report consists of the original con­ tributions of the CI-authors. Only the results of geographic investigations have been compiled into a synoptic chapter. Preface, introductory comments on the subdivisions, formulation of conclusions and recommendations was done by the PI. Parts of the results have been presented at the following meetiigs:-Annual Meeting of the Remote Sensing Group of the German Research Council, Clausthal, February 1973 Annual Meeting of the "Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft", Frankfurt, October 73 Third ERTS Symposium, Washington D.C., December 1973 15. Abstract Studies for the project were carried out in the fields of geology-pedology, coastal dynamics, geodesy-cartography, geography and data processing. In geology­ pedology a comparison of ERTS-image studies with extensive ground data (large scale maps and geological surveys) led to a better understanding of the relationship between vegetation, soilbedrock and other geologic features. New findings in linear tectonics gave better insight in orogeny and the development of ore deposits, being used in practical ore prospecting. The coastal studies proved the value of ERTS-images for the updating of nautical charts. Geodesists and cartographers showed possibilites and limitations of using ERTS-imagery ftr the preparation of small scale topographic maps. To the geographers it seems rather difficult to find ways of application of ERTS-studies for actual problems. With better-repetative coverage and the use of more sophiticated data processing, however, future appli­ cation in the monitoring and planning of urban development appears promising. Data processing in general made a big step forward towards automated image analysis and image processing, A plotter for large scale high speed image generation from CCT was developed.

Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

M. Ennis (1), P.A. Meere (1), M.J. Timmerman (2) and M. Sudo (2) (1)Department of Geology, National University of Ireland, Cork, Ireland (2)Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Potsdam, 14415 Potsdam, Germany. [email protected] The Upper Devonian Old Red Sandstone (ORS) clastic sedimentary rocks of the Mun- ster Basin of southern Ireland can yield valuable information on the timing of Late Palaeozoic orogenic events in the region. The Munster Basin was an intra-continental half-graben extending from the Dingle Peninsula in the west to the Commeragh Moun- tains in the east with a maximum fill thickness of >7 kilometres at its north-western depocentre. Basin initiation is constrained as pre-385 Ma and the subsequent basin fill was dominated by continental siltstones and sandstones. Textural and modal analy- sis of the sequence indicates that they are mature to supermature, sub-litharenites to quartz arenites. Previous models for the Munster Basin describe it as a classic mol- lasse deposit with the sediment derived from a Caledonian orogenic edifice to the north (Friend et al. 2000). In this study we present two new potential models for sediment provenance in the Munster Basin based on the 40Ar/39Ar step-heating and 40Ar/39Ar Ultra Violet Laser Ablation (UVLA) of detrital white micas. The step-heating analysis of white mica separates yielded ages in the range of 404 ± 1.5 Ma to 388 ± 1.5 Ma, with an average age of 394 Ma.

  • The Beginnings of Indwstrialization
    The Beginningsof Indwstrialization SHEILAGH OGILVIE Germanv and industrialization It may seem curious to speak of industrialization as beginning around 1500. Industrialization is often regarded as synonymous with the rise of mechanized manufacturing in centralized facrories, and this did nor occur even in England until 1760-80, and in Germany not until 1830-50. But machines and factories were only late landmarks - albeit important ones - in a much longer process of industrial growth in Europe, dating back to at least 1500. This long-term industrializationwas basedalmost wholly on decentralized work in producers' own houses, using domestic labour and a simple, slowly changing technology. Yet it was responsible for a gradual expansion in the proportion of the labour-force working in industry and the share of the total output of the economy representedby manufactures. It was also responsiblefor the emergence,between about 1500 and about 'indus- 1800, of what German historianshave called Gewerbelandschaften, trial regions', in which an above-averageproportion of people worked in industry and a substantial share of what they produced was exported beyond the region.l Important as factory industrialization was, many of its seeds were sown long before, during the slow and dispersed industri- alization of many regions of early modern Europe. This early modern industrial growth was part of a wider process of regional specializatioa, which began slowly in the late medieval period, but accelerated decisively during the sixteenth century. During this process many more European regions than ever before began to specializein partic- ular forms of agriculture, as well as particular branchesof industry, produc- ing surpluses for export and importing what they did not produce for themselves.Thus regional self-sufficiency declined, and inter-regional trade grew.
