• Resumen

  • Integrated data from 2D seismic interpretation, geomorphologic mapping, GPR profiling and Quaternary basin analysis of the Lassee Segment of the sinistral Vienna Basin Fault System 30 km east of Vienna depicts an active sinistral wrench fault with a negative flower structure, which is partly filled with Pleistocene growth strata. The flower structure developed during the Middle and Upper Miocene and was reactivated during the Quaternary. The faults east of the flower structure offset a Pleistocene terrace of the Danube River. There, high resolution GPR depicts the existence of several surface breaking faults, controlling the morphology of a pronounced composite fault scarp.
