Main research interests:

  • Study of fracture development and diagenetic processes in evaporite and carbonate sequences supported by petrological and geochemical characterization (Pyrenees, Spain; Central High Atlas, Morocco; Namibe basin, Angola).
  • Subsidence analysis and geohistory of diapiric basins (numerical and analogue modelling)
