Concerning the professional interests and expertise in geosciences and interdisciplinary research, there are many fields which form an expanding network of tasks which were (or are) solved personally and/or gradually delegated to other persons and teams, trainees or advanced co-operators. It is necessary to distinguish between the original or traditional (sometimes former) disciplines and these which have been developed in the most recent years.
Originally: carbonate systems, rock diagenesis, sediments, basins, orogens & lithosphere, tectonics, regional geology, oil prospection, mineral exploration, volcano-sedimentary complexes, geological mapping, environmental protection, Paleozoic and Devonian stratigraphy, paleontology & paleogeography, corals, conodonts, natural biosystems, biotic extinctions & recoveries, environmental crises, Cenozoic and Recent environments, geomicrobiology & extremophiles....
Nowadays: geological aspects of particle laden flows, multiphase flows & polydispersions, pattern structures in particulate matter, experimental sedimentology, atmospheric dust & aerosols, magnetic susceptibility stratigraphy, growth rhythms in sediments & organic skeletal matter, geoscience aspects of complex system behaviour & complex signal analysis, anisotropy of multigeneration polycrystalline aggregates....
