EURO Geo-Sci in cooperation with the The Austrian Cultural Forum Belgrade and the Center for the Promotion of Science Belgrade invite you to the new edition of the “Science Café Austria-Serbia” to talk with Prof. Hans-Jürgen Gawlick (Leoben) & Prof. Dr. Nevenka Đerić (Belgrade) about „THE GLOBAL CHANGE – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE LAST 250 MILLION YEARS OF THE EARTH’S GEOLOGICAL HISTORY?“ Moderator is Academician Vladica Cvetković.
Join us on April 26, 2024, 18:00, Science Club, Center for the Promotion of Science, 46 Kralja Petra, Belgrade; Please confirm your attendance until 26 April by e-mail: belgrad-kf@bmeia.gv.at
Global Change means the rapid change of the Earth system in the Anthropocene, the time we are living in, and the actual catastrophic impact on the Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere and related environmental problems. The face of the Earth is changing permanently due to always ongoing geological and biological processes. In the geological history of the Earth such Global Changes appear from time to time and are well recorded in the sedimentary rocks. We will look in detail on such Global Changes documented in the sedimentary successions deposited in the last 250 Million years in our area, i.e. the Dinarides.
Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Gawlick works at the University of Leoben. His fields of experience and interest are: Integration of geology, sedimentology, palaeontology, biostratigraphy combined with microfacies analysis and geochemistry, geodynamics and structural geology (including palaeomagnetics) for palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographic reconstructions, basin evolution and deposit forming processes. In-depth field-based expertise regarding basin evolution, mountain building processes, sedimentology, biostratigraphy of shallow- and deepwater environments in the western Tethyan realm in Mesozoic times. Due to intensive interdisciplinary research of more than 30 years in the Northern Calcareous Alps and related areas (Carpathians, Southern Alps, Dinarides, Albanides, Hellenides and Betic Cordillera).
Prof. Dr. Nevenka Đerić works at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Mining and Geology. Her main areas of research are: Mesozoic radiolaria, basin formation and evolution in context with plate tectonic processes in the Alpine orogens of the Mediterranean realm; burial history of sedimentary rocks, the ophiolites of the Dinaridic-Hellenidic collisional belt, Mesozoic palaeogeography and geodynamic of the north-western Tethyan realm. Organism turnovers in the Earth history.
