Overview

Gernold Zulauf is affiliated with Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a significant emphasis on Geophysics. The scholar has also contributed to fields such as Mechanics of Materials, Mechanical Engineering, Earth-Surface Processes, and Atmospheric Science.

Their recent publications feature studies on geological and structural processes. Notable papers include:

  • Boudinage and two-stage folding of oblique single layers under coaxial plane strain: Layer rotation around the axis of no change (Y), 2020, Journal of Structural Geology
  • Coeval boudinage and folding of oblique single layers under coaxial plane strain: Layer rotation around the principal stretching axis (X), 2020, Journal of Structural Geology

These works examine the deformation of geological layers under strain conditions. Other relevant publications in different venues address geological formations and processes, including tectonic studies and rock salt structural evolution.

  • Structure, kinematics and composition of fluid-controlled brittle faults and veins in Lower Cretaceous claystones (Lower Saxony Basin, Northern Germany): Constraints from petrographic studies, microfabrics, stable isotopes and biomarker analyses, 2020, Chemical Geology
  • Deep versus shallow emplacement of sills and dykes: new insight from thermo-visco-elastic modelling, 2024, Tectonophysics
  • Structural evolution of continental and marine Permian rock salt of the North German Basin: constraints from microfabrics, geochemistry and U-Pb ages, 2020, International Journal of Earth Sciences

Zulauf's research extensively covers topics such as geological and geochemical analysis, earthquake and tectonic studies, high-pressure geophysics and materials, hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir analysis, and geology and paleoclimatology research. Their work also touches on advanced materials and mechanics.
