David Tanner Researcher, Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Hannover, Germany. David Colin Tanner is a researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, where his research focuses on structural modeling and seismics. He has also been a lecturer at Jacobs University and University of Gottingen, as well as a researcher at GFZ Potsdam, among others. He has chaired multiple sessions on faults at the EGU conference in Vienna. Christian Brandes Researcher, Institute of Geology, University of Hannover, Germany. Christian Brandes is a researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Geology at the University of Hannover. His research interests include interaction of tectonics and sedimentation, geodynamics of island-arcs, burial history and temperature evolution of sedimentary basins, paleoseismology, and evolution of fold-and-thrust belts. He lectures on tectonics, modeling, Earth history, mapping, and regional geology.
