It has been exactly one hundred years since Wegener pub- lished his theory of continental drift and laid the groundwork for modern science and plate tectonics. Scientific experts today are still reaping the benefits of Wegener’s research. His research provides geoscientists the basis for gaining new ground from which future generations of researchers will in turn profit. By exploring how human activities affect the earth system, the geosciences deliver crucial information for our daily life. Georesearch is also very important as we look ahead to future challenges – our demand for natural resources and energy, for example. The use of the geological subsurface to store energy and the exploration of the oceans as sources of mineral resources will play a major role in this regard. Knowledge and experience in the geosciences will be more and more in demand in future. That knowledge and experi- ence will also provide the basis for political decision-making processes. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) therefore supports activities in the entire geoscience spectrum. At the same time we also want to expand on Germany’s strong international position in this field. The BMBF’s future funding programme "Georesearch for Sustainability (GEO:N)" will move us nearer to achieving that goal. In addition, conferences such as GeoBerlin 2015 provide the necessary forums for expert exchange. Through discussions about Alfred Wegener’s achievements, GeoBerlin 2015 in particular encourages us to reflect on the successes of georesearch in the past and throughout time. This conference is also an opportunity to devote some thought to the potential of geosciences for the future. May all the conference participants gain interesting input and inspiring new knowledge for their work in the geosciences. Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka Federal Minister of Education and Research 1 Welcome Dear Geoscientists, Exactly 100 years ago the most outstanding German Geoscientist Alfred Wegener published the first edition of his seminal book “Die Enstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane” (“The Origin of Continents and Oceans”). Today we all know that his seminal hypothesis was only accepted once the pieces of the “plate tectonics” puzzle were put together in the 1960’s. Wegener was 50 years ahead of his time. We should never forget that Wegener was a metereologist and astronomist. He pursued his research on the thermodynamcis of the atmosphere and impact craters with as much energy as his development of “continental drift”. In our meeting Dynamic Earth – from Alfred Wegener to today and beyond we will review how Wegener’s findings evolved into to modern Earth system science including its impact on climate and the Earth surface, and how this system affects our daily life: where humans live, what risks we are exposed to, where we find our resources. In the meeting we invite the societies to propose sessions that cover the entire geoscience spectrum (from mineral physics over solid earth geodynamics to the climate sciences). We have invited keynote speakers that are eminent international scientists in these fields. In events open to the general public we will get an account of Wegeners final trip to Greenland on the history of science of his hypothesis. The conference takes place in the Henry Ford Bau of the FU Berlin, is staged by the FU Berlin and GFZ Potsdam, and is supported by the Potsdam-Berlin Geosciences coordination platform Geo.X. It is the joint annual meeting of the Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft / Geologische Vereinigung (DGGV) and the Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft (DMG), The Potsdam-Berlin research platform Geo.X will stage the Geo.X School

Rowan ([email protected]) 10 Abstract. Layered evaporite sequences (LES) comprise interbedded weak layers (halite and, commonly, bittern salts) and strong layers (anhydrite and usually non-evaporite rocks such as carbonates and siliciclastics). This results in a strong rheological stratification, with a range of effective viscosity up to a factor of 105. We focus here on the deformation of competent intrasalt beds in different modes of salt tectonics using a combination of conceptual, numerical and analog models, and seismic data. In bedding-paralell extension, boudinage of the strong layers forms ruptured stringers, within a 15 halite matrix, that become increasingly isolated with increasing strain. In bedding-parallel shortening, competent layers tend to maintain coherency while forming harmonic, disharmonic, and polyharmonic folds, with the rheological stratification leading to buckling and fold growth by bedding-parallel shear. In differential loading, extension and the resultant stringers dominate beneath suprasalt depocenters while folded competent beds characterize salt pillows. Finally, in tall passive diapirs, stringers generated by intrasalt extension are rotated to near vertical in tectonic melanges during upward flow of salt.

Moreover, it is one of the rare faunas including amphibians and squamates known from the period of isolation of Africa. The assemblage comprises 17 to 20 taxa (one gymnophionan, one probable caudate, three to six anurans, seven ‘lizards’, and five snakes). Two new taxa were recovered: the anuran Rocekophryne ornata gen. et sp. nov. and the snake Afrotortrix draaensis gen.

  • Salt Tectonics and Its Effect on Sediment Structure and Gas Hydrate Occurrence in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico from 2D Multichannel Seismic Data
    A Publication of the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies www.gcags.org SALT TECTONICS AND ITS EFFECT ON SEDIMENT STRUCTURE AND GAS HYDRATE OCCURRENCE IN THE NORTHWESTERN GULF OF MEXICO FROM 2D MULTICHANNEL SEISMIC DATA Dan’l Lewis and William Sager Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University, MS 3146, College Station, Texas 77843–3146, U.S.A. ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to investigate mobile salt and its effect on fault structures and gas hydrate occurrence in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Industry 2D multichannel seismic data were used to investigate the effects of salt within an area of 7577 mi2 (19,825 km2) on the Texas continental slope in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The western half of the study area is characterized by a thick sedimentary wedge and isolated salt diapirs whereas the eastern half is characterized by a massive and nearly continuous salt sheet topped by a thin sedimentary section. This difference in salt characteristics marks the edge of the continuous salt sheets of the central Gulf of Mexico and is likely a result of westward decline of original salt volume. Be- neath the sedimentary wedge in the western part of the survey, an anomalous sedimentary package was found, that is described here as the diapiric, gassy sediment package (DGSP). The DGSP is highly folded at the top and is marked by tall, diapiric fea- tures. It may be either deformed shale or the toe of a complex thrust zone detaching the sedimentary wedge from deeper layers. The dataset was searched for the occurrence of bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) because they are widely accepted as a geo- physical indicator of gas trapped beneath gas hydrate deposits that are known to occur farther east in the Gulf.

To illustrate the relative importance of the balance between salt and sediment inputs, basin rheology, and tectonism resulting from basin interactions in the development of megaflaps, a set of analog experiments were performed in a computed tomography scanner. Sediments are modeled using both granular material and a mix of granular and viscous material and salt as purely viscous material. Uneven sedimentary loading and associated salt flow localize primary minibasins, which then migrate and expand laterally until sufficient thickness is reached to pin the downbuilding phase.
