Mapping of young tectonic and halocinetic structures in Schleswig-Holstein by interpretation of seismic profiles and fieldwork

结合RWE/DEA对地震剖面进行的初步研究表明，与第三纪基底相偏移的断层经常影响地表形态。在这个提议中，我们将使用石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因整个地区的“schwerpunktprogram”（SPP）中所有可获得的地震线，系统地绘制地壳最上层500米的断层，并将它们投射到陆地表面。预计的断层线被纳入GIS（地球科学信息系统），并使用航空照片/实地调查来查看是否可以检测到植被和地表形态的相应模式。石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因地区的特点是广泛的盐底辟作用，两侧有深槽；然而，也有深断层从二叠纪底部的下方延伸到地表，并且看起来与盐作用无关。绘制该州整个地区的这两种类型的断层图，将显示近期/次近期构造运动/盐蚀作用活跃的地方，从而为大约2万年前最后一次大陆冰盖退缩以来的盆地状态提供证据。

A pilot study of seismic profiles together with RWE/DEA has shown that faults offsetting the base of the Tertiary often effect the morphology of the land surface. In this proposal we will use all seismic lines accessable in the "Schwerpunktprogramm" (SPP) for the entire area of Schleswig-Holstein to map systematically faults in the uppermost 500m of the crust and project them to the land surface. The projected fault lines are incorporated in a GIS (Geoscientific Information System) and aerial photographs/fieldwork are used to see if corresponding patterns in vegetation and surface morphology can be detected. The area of Schleswig-Holstein is characterised by widespread salt diapirism with deep troughs at the flanks; however there are also deep faults that reach from well below the base of the Permian up to the surface and appear independent of halocinesis. Mapping both types of faults for the entire area of the state will show where recent/subrecent tectonism/halocinesis was active and thus give evidence on the state of the basin since the retreat of the last continental ice sheets some 20.000 years ago.
