St Mueller’s scientific contributions

The European Geotraverse (EGT) is an international, multidisciplinary project focused on a north-south orientated lithospheric profile, 4000 km long and of varying width, extending from northernmost Scandinavia to North Africa. This profile consists of three interlinking Segments (Northern, Central, and Southern) comprising a continuous succession of tectonic provinces ranging from the oldest Precambrian areas of the Baltic Shield to the currently active area of the Western Mediterranean. The broad aim of the EGT Project is to obtain a better three-dimensional picture of the structure, state, and composition of the continental lithosphere to use as a basis for an understanding of its evolution and dynamics. All of the 12 major projects that constitute the EGT “Joint Programme” have now been initiated, and several of these projects are nearing completion.
