SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS

Main Interests: 

My main research line addresses the study of the structure of the subsurface using geophysical and geological data and methods. My research activity has focused on the study of extensional processes, the structure and tectonic evolution of rifted margins and rift basins, the contractional reactivation of rifted margins and rift systems, and subduction initiation processes.
