Research interests

 

My current research interests involve the tectonic history and evolution of the Western Mediterranean, the Iberian Peninsula and its margins, the Alpine-Himalayan System and the African continent and their dynamics. My research is conducted mainly through the analysis of gravity and deep crustal seismic reflection data.

I am also interested in seismic oceanography, the application of multi-channel seismic reflection profiling to the understanding of large scale ocean circulation and mixing processes. My main research areas have been the Western Mediterranean (Tyrrhenian and Alboran Seas) and the Mediterranean Outflow Water (Gulf of Cadiz and Western Iberian Margin).
