Research Group and research line: Sedimentary Geology. Basin Evolution and Sedimentary Models.

Research area:

  • Sedimentology, stratigraphy, basin analysis
  • Process sedimentology: paleo-environmental reconstructions
  • Sequence stratigraphy: applications for petroleum, coal and mineral resources exploration
  • Basin analysis: interplay of tectonism, sea-level change, climate, and sedimentation
  • Crustal structure and density/gravity models
