E� GIS and 3D-modeling in Geosciences (Session 16)
The importance of Geo Information Systems (GIS) and 3/4D-modelling in geosciences is increasing permanently. Here
beside the application of available tools the development of task specific routines often is needed. This session is addressed
to all people who use GIS, 3/4D-modelling or programming as a methodological approach in order to work on geoscientific
tasks. The session thus calls for contributions which are related either to development of methodological approaches
or results derived by application of GIS, 3/4D-modelling or programming. Contributions can be submitted either in
English or in German.

Special Session in Honour of Prof� Paul Schmidt-Thomé’s 100th Anniversary (Session 24)
With the 100th anniversary of his birthday in 2011 this open session honors the merits of Professor Paul Schmidt-Thomé,
who has been Ordinarius of Geology in Munich (Technical University of Munich) from 1954 until 1977. His scientific
focus covered a wide range of topics from sedimentary and structural evolution of the Eastern Alps (Northern Calcareous
Alps) and the Bavarian Molasse system to diverse aspects of applied geology (natural resources, hydrogeology, engineering
geology).
