Basin Evolution and Sedimentary Models

Currently working on:

  • Sedimentary, biological and structural evolution of the intra-plate rift basins of the Iberian Chain (Conca del Maestrat), Catalànids (Garraf) and the Eastern Pyrenees during the Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous stage.
  • Evolution of the Barremian-Aptian rifting in NE Iberia: depositional systems, accommodation and extensive synsedimentary deformation.
  • Dating of the Albian post-rift succession of the Conca del Maestrat.
  • Basin analysis of the Eocene-age mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic succession of the Ebro basin (Vic-Girona).
  • Analysis of the sequential stratigraphy, facies architecture and petrology of the Oligo-Miocene Basins of the Prebetic, Penedès and the Ebro Delta. Interpretation of the eustatic, tectonic, climatic, oceanographic and biological factors that controlled their deposition, as well as obtaining palaeoecological models of the carbonate-producing species preserved in these rocks.
  • Analysis of the sequential stratigraphy, facies architecture, petrology and age of the Messinian and Pliocene succession of the Agua Amarga Basin and the Cabo de Gata Natural Park (Almería).
