Title of the Project: Geodynamics of the Central Alpine Mediterranean Orogenic System: Mantle characterization and vertical motions

Ref. number: PGC2018-095154-B-I00

The project where the PhD student will participate aims to bring new light on how the Central Alpine Mediterranean Orogenic System has been shaped by the Africa-Eurasia convergence and on the triggering mechanisms that accommodated this convergence. We also aim at clarifying the impact of these events on the surface mass redistribution and the conditions under which the Tyrrhenian, Adriatic and Pannonian sedimentary basins (main repositories of natural resources in the region). For this we will perform numerical modeling on a transect crossing the Central Mediterranean through the Tyrrhenian back-arc oceanic basin, the Apennines fold belt, the doubly subducting Adriatic Sea, the Dinarides fold belt, the Pannonian back-arc continental basin and the Carpathians fold belt to the SW of the stable Eurasia plate. Our methods combine geophysical, structural and petrological data to infer the crustal and upper mantle structure. We will apply both static (present-day) lithospheric structure and geodynamic modelling to account for mantle seismic velocities, surface heat flow measurements, elevation, gravity and geoid anomalies, and sedimentation/erosion data. We will obtain a new balanced geological cross-section of the lithosphere consistent with plate reconstructions and geophysical data.

We seek for a candidate with a solid geophysics and geological background and with skills and genuine interest in programming and possibly GIS. The research will involve software development (Linux shell scripting and Python).
