Verbundprojekt
Das Internationale Tiefenbohrprogramms SCOPSCO im Ohridsee
Geldgeber: Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt, ehemals: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung
Laufzeit: 2011-2012

Abstract:
The Lake Ohrid is considered to be the oldest lake in continuous existence in Europe and a hotspot for endemism with more than 300 endemic species. The deep drilling of Lake Ohrid has four major aims: (i) to obtain more precise information about the age and the origin of the lake, (ii) to unravel the seismotectonic history of the lake area including
effects of major EQs and associated mass wasting events, (iii) to obtain a continuous record containing information on volcanic activities and climate changes in the central northern Mediterranean region, and (iv) to better understand the impact of major geological/environmental events on general evolutionary patterns and shaping an extraordinary
degree of endemic biodiversity as a matter of global significance.
