Description

The Serbian Carpathians represent a segment of the Carpatho-Balkanides orogenic system in southeastern Europe. From west to east, the thrusted orogenic sequence of the Serbian Carpathians comprises segments of the Supragetic and Getic Units, as parts of the Dacia mega-unit; the ophiolite-bearing Ceahlău-Severin Unit; and the Danubian Unit, which originated from the Moesian foreland. This two-day field trip (14–15 September 2026) will provide an overview of the structural, stratigraphic, and magmatic relationships between the principal tectonic units of the Serbian Carpathians along a geological transect through the Danube River Gorge.
