FU Berlin, Institute of Geological Sciences – Dynamics of the Earth Group

The group is analysing and modelling geodynamic processes that take place on and in the Earth, such as the development of aquifer systems (karstification, groundwater flow, …). Computer simulations are essentially used for this purpose.

A model for the simulationModell Ein Computermodell ist in der Regel eine Sammlung von vielen mathematischen Gleichungen, die verschiedene natürliche (physikalische, chemische, biologische) Vorgänge sehr gut mathematisch darstellen. Im Computer kann man das Modell mit verschiedenen Parameterwerten (z. B. verschiedene Häufigkeit von Klüften, verschiedene Temperatur) laufen lassen, wodurch man ein sehr gutes Verständnis der Zusammenhänge und Einflußfaktoren auf die zu untersuchenden Phänomene erhält. of karstification was developed and applied to the Blessberg cave.

The main areas of research of the group are in the field of organic and inorganic trace analysis by using and further developing mass spectrometric methods, often in combination with chromatographic methods.

The group participates in the research in the Blessberg cave by reconstructing the vegetation above the cave by analysing biopolymers in stalagmites and by analysing biochemical fire markers in soil, water, and stalagmite samples.

The Aquatic Geomicrobiology group exists since 2004 and is headed by Prof. Dr. Kirsten Küsel. The group is has a focus on the role of microorganisms that are driving the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. Here, microbes are also involved in mediating mineral precipitation and dissolution as well as the sorption of organic material. The research covers the areas of biodiversity, microbial interactions, climate change mitigation, mining, and the deep biosphere.

In the context of the research project “AquaDiv@Jena” and the CRC 1076 “AquaDiva”, the diversity and activity of the bacteria contained in the Blessberg cave and their formation of carbonate minerals were investigated.

The major goal of the group is the reconstruction of past climate variability. We mainly use speleothems, such as stalagmites, stalactites and flowstones, as climate archives, which are secondary carbonates found in caves.

The group performs research in the Bleßberg Cave by dating and geochemical analyses of stalagmites.

The section Geochronology is specialised in Quaternary geochronology using luminescence and electron spin resonance (ESRElektronenspinresonanz-Datierung Eine physikalische Datierungsmethode, die darauf beruht, daß die Menge magnetischer Anomalien im Probenmaterial proportional zur Lagerungszeit im Sediment ist.) methods. For Blessberg Cave the group is testing thermoluminescence (TL) dating of speleothems, which has a potential to date calcite up to ~2 million years. It is also planned to contribute in dating cave sediments.
