Philipp Balling successfully defended his PhD thesis

On May 17, Philipp Balling successfully defended his PhD thesis on the tectonics of the Dinarides. In his thesis "Structural evolution of the central part of the External Dinarides fold-and-thrust belt" Philipp worked on the deformation of the External Dinarides in Croatia and Bosnia based on published information and self-collected structural data. He was able to show that the structure of the Dinarides - and thus also their formation - differed regionally. In particular, the mountains were affected only by minor and diffuse shortening in the Neogene.

Congratulations, Philipp!
