Über mich
Hans-Peter Bunge leitet seit 2003 den Lehrstuhl für Geophysik an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Zuvor lehrte er fünf Jahre an der amerikanischen Princeton Universität, nachdem er ein Jahr als Post-Doktorand der Europäischen Union am französischen Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris tätig war. Er promovierte sich 1996 an der kalifornischen Berkeley Universität mit einer Arbeit zur globalen Mantelkonvektion und führte den Hauptteil dieser Arbeit am nationalen Forschungslabor der Vereinigten Staaten in Los Alamos durch, wo seine Forschungen durch das Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) sowie durch das Advanced Computing Laboratory (ACL) gefördert wurden.
Bunge's Forschungsarbeiten liegen in der Anwendung von Höchstleistungs-Rechnungen auf Probleme der Erd- und Planetenentwicklung, einschliesslich Kern-, Mantel- und Krustendynamik, mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt in der Erarbeitung geodynamisch relevanter Datensätze aus der Seismologie, Plattentektonik und kontinent-skaliger Sedimentologie. Er entwickelte ein innovatives strömungsmechanisches Inversionsverfahren für die feste Erde mit dessen Hilfe die Deformationsentwicklung des Erdkörpers explizit rückwärts in der Zeit bestimmt werden kann.
Forschung
Geodynamik beschäftigt sich mit den physikalischen Prozessen, die für gross-skalige Prozesse wie Gebirgsentstehung oder Plattentektonik in der Erde oder in anderen Planeten verantwortlich sind. Aus der Natur dieser Fragestellung heraus hat die Geodynamik eine stark interdiszplinäre Prägung. Die Geodynamik stellt die Brücke zwischen so unterschiedlichen Gebieten wie Tektonik, Sedimentologie, Paläomagnetismus, Seismologie, Mineralogie, Geochemie und Geodäsie her. Es gibt viele Verbindungen zwischen diesen Disziplinen, deren Grund in folgendem zu sehen ist: Konvektion in Erdmantel und -kern ist die Ursache aller geologischen Aktivitäten, die wir auf der Erde beobachten können. Schließlich zeigt die Konvektion in der Erde und anderen Planeten deren schrittweisen Wärmeverlust, während diese Körper langsam mit der Zeit abkühlen.
Die Methoden der Geodynamik sind grundsätzlich physikalischen Urpsrungs und entstammen hauptsächlich der Kontinuumsmechanik. Rechnergestützte Modellierung und moderne Hochleistungsparallelrechenverfahren gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung für das Lösen von Bewegungsgleichungen, die geodynamische Prozesse bestimmen. Trotzdem besitzen auch analoge Modelle zur Darstellung physikalischer Prozesse im Labormaßstab eine gewisse Bedeutung. Geodynamiker teilen die wachsende Bedeutung von Simulationen am Rechner mit Forschern aus anderen Fachbereichen. Für die kommende Dekade verspricht diese Entwicklung, die von rasch aufeinander folgenden Veränderungen in der Computerhardware gefördert wird, dramatischen Fortschritt, welcher unsere Fähigkeit viele komplexe Erdprozesse zu verstehen erweitern wird.
Die Münchner Geodynamikgruppe ist führend in der Anwendung von Hochleisstungsrechnern auf Probleme der Geodynamik. Wir empfangen neue Studenten mit offenen Armen und bieten eine breite Palette an internationaler Zusammenarbeit. Insbesondere qualifizierte Studenten aus Deutschland und dem Ausland werden ermutigt, sich um Promotionsstellen in unserer Arbeitsgruppe zu bewerben.

DFG Graduierten Kolleg UPLIFT
https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/440512084?language=de
Vertikalbewegungen der Lithosphäre (Uplift) finden auf unterschiedlichen räumlichen und zeitlichen Skalen statt. Gewöhnlich wird angenommen, dass diese primär mit plattentektonischen Mechanismen und isostatischen Ausgleichsbewegungen verknüpft sind, jedoch wird immer klarer, dass Antriebe aus dem Erdmantel in vielen Regionen der Erde signifikant zu Vertikalbewegungen beitragen. Daher stellen letztere eine hervorragende Möglichkeit dar, um sub-lithosphärische Prozesse zu verstehen. Aufgrund signifikanter Fortschritte bei Beobachtungsmethoden (z. B. Satellitenmissionen) und Datenanalysetechniken (z. B. digitale geologische Karten) stellen heute geodätische und geologische Beobachtungen eine unverzichtbare Informationsquelle für geodynamische Modelle dar. Letztere wiederum ermöglichen wichtige Erkenntnisse zu komplexen Prozessen der Landschaftsentwicklung. Im Rahmen dieses Graduiertenkollegs soll zum ersten Mal ein interdisziplinärer Ansatz aus Geodynamik, Geodäsie und Geologie angewendet werden, um eine der dringlichsten Fragen der modernen Geophysik mit großer wissenschaftlicher und gesellschaftlicher Relevanz zu beantworten: Wie interagieren exo- und endogene Antriebsmechanismen und verursachen dabei zahlreiche Prozesse von Landschaftsentwicklung bis hin zu Erdbebenereignissen? Nur eine kombinierte Interpretation von Beobachtungen mit unterschiedlicher räumlicher und zeitlicher Sensitivität, in Verbindung mit physikalischen Modellen, wird es uns ermöglichen, die unterschiedlichen Uplift-Mechanismen zu trennen. Das Förderprogramm des Graduiertenkollegs ist aufgrund des methodenorientierten Charakters dieser interdisziplinären Fragestellung ideal dafür geeignet. Es basiert auf umfangreicher Expertise der beitragenden Disziplinen, angesiedelt an den beantragenden Universitäten. Diese spezifische Situation, wissenschaftlich starke Gruppen mit exzellenter internationaler Reputation in allen für das Thema relevanten Feldern Geophysik, Geodäsie und Geologie an einem Standort zu haben, ergänzt durch weltweit erstklassige Möglichkeiten des Hochleistungsrechnens, stellt eine einzigartige Situation in Deutschland und eine seltene im internationalen Vergleich dar. Das maßgeschneiderte Qualifikationsprogramm ist eingebettet in die bestehende Infrastruktur des Münchner Geozentrums, betrieben von den beiden antragstellenden Universitäten. Spezielle Elemente des Qualifizierungs- und Studienprogramms werden die wissenschaftliche Exzellenz der Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden in einem interdisziplinären und internationalen Umfeld fördern. Damit wird Forschungsnachwuchs ausgebildet, der nicht nur in der Lage ist, tiefgründige Forschung in der Heimatdisziplin zu leisten, sondern auch umfassende Kompetenzen zum fachübergreifenden Arbeiten erwirbt. Das resultierende Forscherprofil wird heute dringend benötigt, um an den großen geowissenschaftlichen Fragen zu arbeiten, und wird exzellente Chancen für hochkarätige Karrieren in Wissenschaft und Industrie bieten.
