Recent Developments in Carbonate Sedimentology in Central Europe (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1968):... Recent Developments in Carbonate Sedimentology in Central Europe (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1968)

In the field of sedimentary research, ever increasing emphasis has been put on the investigations of carbonates and carbonate rocks during the past 30 years. It is thus quite natural that in Central Europe - where c1assical carbonate in vestigations have already been carried out 100 years ago - numerous scholars turned to the study of this sediment type. On the occasion of a visiting professorship of G. M. FRIEDMAN at the Labora torium fur Sedimentforschung, Heidelberg University, a seminar on "Recent Developments of Carbonate Sedimentology in Central Europe" was held in July 1967. 90 persons involved in carbonate investigations participated, and 35 lectures were held. The present volume contains 30 papers summarizing the different subjects of the seminar. Of course these contributions only represent a small part of the work actually performed in the field of carbonate research in Central Europe. We believe, however, that they give a general survey of the work and the working methods employed in the different sectors of carbonate investigations. One of the purposes of the present symposium is to acquaint the English speaking countries with our recent results which usually - due to the language barrier - are not accessible to them.

Mineralogical-sedimentological and geochemical investigations in combination with pollen data of a 12.7-m-long dated sediment core from Lake Silvana, SE Brazil, permit the reconstruction of the climatic history over the past 10,000 years. The lowermost section (I) reflects a coarse paleosol-type sediment with abundant plant debris and rootlets; pollen indicates grassland vegetation. Section II represents fine-grained lake sediments; pollen indicates a savanna-like vegetation. Section III represents a pollen-free, coarse-grained allogenic sediment deposited under high transportation energy (increased precipitation). Section IV, a greenish sequence with increasing C content towards the top, has a pollen spectrum of present-day vegetation (semideciduous forest). The different sediment sections show a connection with erosional phases in the catchment of the lake, based on mineralogy and geochemistry, which are a response to climate development.

Die letzten Jahrzehnte haben einen bislang einzigartigen Schub von Wissensver mehrung gebracht, den viele mit gemischten Gefuhlen betrachten. Dabei wird auch das Paradigma der Fachdisziplinen in Frage gestellt. Die klaren "Schubladen" der Wissensgebiete sind lochrig geworden und eine wachsende Zahl von Querver bindungen und Vernetzungen resultiert in neuen Facherkombinationen und Ar beitsweisen. Der Munchner Physiker und Wissenschaftstheoretiker Hans-Peter Durr spricht von der Notwendigkeit der T-Intelligenz, einem fundierten Spezial wissen in die Tiefe, verbunden mit einem gut ausgebildeten und wachen Verstand nis in die Breite der jeweiligen Randgebiete. Bei nuchterner Betrachtung wird deutlich, dass es neben den Inhalten der traditio nell angewandten Sparten der Geowissenschaften zahlreiche Fragestellungen gibt, die einen weiten und oft neuen Zugang erfordern. Diese Sicht wird von vielen jun geren und auch alteren Kolleginnen und Kollegen geteilt und spiegelte sich in der immensen Resonanz auf die DGG-Tagung zur geowissenschaftlichen Umweltfor schung am 5. und 6. November 1993 in Heidelberg wider, die einer Abstimmung fur die Umwelt-Geowissenschaften mit Fussen (besser: mit Kopfen) gleichkam. So verwundert es nicht, dass inzwischen eine Gesellschaft fur Umweltgeowissen schaften (GUG) gegrundet werden konnte, die sich dem breiten Arbeitsfeld als Plattform darbietet. Erfreulicherweise konnte diese Gesellschaft als Tochter der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Geologie (DGG) eingerichtet werden, mit voller Unterstutzung der dort beheimateten Gruppierungen."
