1990 M. Sc., University of Innsbruck, Austria: Diploma thesis:
"Geology and Sedimentology of the Western Muttekopf Gosau Basin"

1996 Ph. D., University of Innsbruck, Austria: Ph.D. thesis:
"Deformation and Diagenesis of the Lower Inn Valley Tertiary between Rattenberg and Durchholzen"

2003 Habilitation, University of Innsbruck, Austria, Habilitationsschrift "Deformation of the Northern Calcareous through Alpine Orogeny - Brittle Structures and Synorogenic Sediments"

Research Interests:

• Synorogenic Sediments: local and regional scale interaction of deformation and sedimentation, early (pre-lithification) deformation of sediments

current projects:
Pilot study - early deformation in deep water sediments
Geometry and sequence of thrusting in the Subalpine Molasse of western Austria and Bavaria

key research area: Gosau Group at Muttekopf

• Paleomagnetism in orogenic systems

past projects:
Large rotations in the Alps and their structural expression
Rotation of segments of the Northern Calcareous Alps

• Regional Geology: Tectonic evolution of the western part of the Eastern Alps

current projects:
Geological map of the Reit im Winkl and Seegatterl sheets for the Bayerisches Landesamt für Umwelt
Thrust sheet geometry of the Northern Calcareous Alps

past projects:
Kinematics and Geochronology in the Rätikon mountains, Vorarlberg
Tectonics and diagenesis in Tertiary sediments of the Inn Valley
Geological map of the Brenner base tunnel north feeder: Triassic south of Inn valley

• TectonicVB: A program for analysis of structural data (currently discontinued, last version running on MacOS 9.2; use SheepShaver to emulate MacOS 9 on the current MacOS X)
