Preliminary scope of work

The cause and effect of magnesium mobility will be studied in ancient zones of active deformation. The study area is located in Eastern Alps - West Carpathians orogenic system known for magnesite deposits along the Veitsch-Noetsch-Szabadbattyán-Ochtiná zone. This zone has been recognised as the crustal-scale tectonic boundary of first order importance for the Cretaceous (Alpine) convergent processes. In this zone, the relationship between deformation structures/phases and Mg-metasomatism responsible for the magnesite deposits will be sought.
