Wolfgang Rabbel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Rabbel (* 1957 ) is a German geophysicist and university professor.

Live and act

Rabbel has been Professor of Applied Geophysics at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel since 1995 . His work focuses on near-surface prospection, seismics and seismology .

He directs or directed numerous u. a. Projects funded by the German Research Foundation, particularly in the fields of archaeometry , engineering and hydrogeophysics, marine geophysics, seismics and seismology.

The projects include a. the seismological TOR project carried out in an international cooperation at the end of the 1990s , which served the structural investigation of the earth's crust and the upper mantle in the area of ​​the suture zone between Baltika and Avalonia in Northern Europe. The focus of his scientific work is in the field of seismics. Rabbel directed z. B., in addition to a large number of other projects, a research work on seismic vertical profiles in the KTB borehole . In the recent past he has increasingly devoted himself to seismic investigations in the area of subduction zones , such as off the coast of Java or Costa Rica .
