Nov 5, 2015 · At the Congress, Staub presented his “Gedanken zum Strukturbild Spaniens” (Thoughts on Spanish Tectonics), based on his analysis of the Geological Map of Spain edited by the Instituto Geológico de España in 1919—which he qualified as excellent– and probably on observations made during the field trips of the XIV IGC, or other trips ...

Aug 1, 2001 · Staub’s (1924) grandiose synthesis of the Alps was illustrated in a 1:1,000,000 tectonic map and cross-sections, emphasizing the unilateral vergence of the orogenic belt. In contrast, Kober (1923) believed in the symmetric bilateral structure of the Alps, coupled with crustal attenuation in the axial zone.

He produced high resolution maps including the first to indicate tectonic regions in the Swiss Alps and came up with ideas on mountain formation based on the idea that there were alternating tectonic forces, Polflucht and Poldrift as suggested by Alfred Wegener.
Introduction. In 1858, Snider-Pellegrini made these two maps. They depict his interpretation of how the American and African continents may once have fit together before subsequently becoming separated.
Mar 19, 2018 · The following sections provide a historical approach with special emphasis on innovative ideas and scientific milestones for the development of the theory of continental drift superseded by the theory of plate tectonics, which finally led to the establishment of the modern phase of palaeogeography.

Where did Thomas Staub grow up?
Staub produced the first modern tectonic map of the Alps and included numerous beautiful transverse sections, the latter an effort that has not been repeated since. While he relied on Argand and Termier for the Western Alps, the part on the Eastern Alps is highly original and prefigures many modern ideas.
