The research project aims to investigate the sediment dynamics of Upper Muschelkalk ramp carbonates (Trochitenkalk, m7, Triassic) in South Lower Saxony that were deposited during a major third-order sea-level rise. Main focus of this project is the region Hildesheimer Wald, south of the city of Hildesheim. It is characterized by a paleo-high, called “Hildesheimer Schwelle” and related high-energy deposits (Trochitenkalk, m7, Triassic). Previous studies were mainly focused on facies classification. However, relatively little or no attention has yet been paid to the lateral facies distribution and continuity, lateral facies transitions, diagenesis and the paleohydrodynamic regime, whose reconstruction is an important step to understand the sediment dynamics. Besides standard sedimentological techniques to study outcrops (e.g. log measurement, sampling, spectral gamma-ray) and thin sections (polarized light microscopy, cathodoluminescence microscopy), new tools such as an 3D X-Ray Microscope (XRM) and a micro X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry scanner (XRF) will be used to investigate rock samples of the Upper Muschelkalk successions in the region Hildesheimer Wald related to the following subjects: -Changes in the sedimentary and hydrodynamic system during rising sea-level.-Diagenesis analysis: Interplay of sedimentary structures and diagenetic processes. The results of the project will improve the fundamental understanding of the complex and changing conditions of the sedimentary system on carbonate ramps during a rising sea-level, which may help to comprehend and to predict similar changes and processes in modern systems. In addition, the results will improve the principal understanding of diagenesis processes and interplaying sedimentary structures.

该研究项目旨在研究下萨克森州南部上 Muschelkalk 坡道碳酸盐岩（Trochitenkalk，m7，三叠纪）的沉积动力学，这些沉积物是在一次重大的三级海平面上升期间沉积的。它位于希尔德斯海姆市以南，其特点是古高地，称为“Hildesheimer Schwelle”和相关的高能矿床（Trochitenkalk，m7，以往的研究主要集中在相分类上，但对侧向相分布和连续性、侧向相转换、成岩作用和古水动力状况的关注相对较少或没有，其重建是了解沉积物动力学的重要一步。除了研究露头的标准沉积学技术（例如测井测量、采样、光谱伽马射线）和薄片（偏振光显微镜、阴极发光）显微镜），3D X 射线显微镜 (XRM) 和微型 X 射线荧光光谱扫描仪 (XRF) 等新工具将用于研究希尔德斯海默瓦尔德 (Hildesheimer Wald) 地区上 Muschelkalk 序列的岩石样本，这些岩石样本与以下主题相关： - 海平面上升期间沉积和水动力系统的变化 - 成岩作用分析：沉积结构和成岩过程的相互作用。该项目的结果将改善基础。了解海平面上升期间碳酸盐坡道沉积系统的复杂和变化条件，这可能有助于理解和预测现代系统中的类似变化和过程。此外，结果将提高对成岩过程的主要理解。和相互作用的沉积构造。
