Research Group: Sedimentary Geology (Evaporites)
Main research interest:
- Geochemistry, petrology, sedimentology and diagenesis of sulphate deposits
- Provenance studies of ormamental alabaster rocks by means of isotope analyses
- Fracturation patterns, cement infillings and microestructures in evaporite deposits
- Transversal disciplines applied to the study of evaporite rocks
