Thematic Field Trips

The Geomodels Research Institute and, more specifically, the GGAC research group, organizes field trips for industry and institutions/academia in the Pyrenees and related foreland basins. The Pyrenees are a world-class site for leading field trips and training courses because of the wide range of structural and depositional settings, superb outcrops, accessibility, and excellent weather. Field trips are organized upon-request. The general themes covered are:


  1. Depositional systems


    1. Deepwater

    2. Delta and Fan Delta

    3. Lacustrine

    4. Fluvial


  1. Tectonic settings (Structure and related sedimentary basins)

    1. Compression

    2. Thrust Systems

      1. Inversion Tectonics

      2. Deep Water FTB Field Analogues

      3. Fractured Carbonates

    3. Extensional Fault Systems

    4. Salt Tectonics
