Since 1983, research was carried out in petrology - geochemistry - geochronology, in archaeometry and as a participant in miscellaneous projects:

Petrology - Geochemistry - Geochronology

Variscan Basement in Northeast Bavaria and West Bohemia, including KTB (KTB = German Kontinental Deep Drilling Programm)

• Petrology, geochemistry and K-Ar/Ar-Ar age determinations on metabasic rocks in the KTB target area and adjacent regions
• Petrology of very high-pressure calc-silicate rocks of the Münchberg gneiss complex
• Interlayers of ultramafic rocks in the KTB drill core
• Age and geological position of the Cu-Zn ore deposit Kupferberg-Wirsberg at the margin of the Münchberg gneiss complex

Pan-African Basement of the Wilson Terrane, northern Victoria Land and Oates Coast, Antarctica

Eocene-Oligocene Impact structures in Spain
