Educational Background

  • 1998-99 Visiting Researcher at Norsk Hydro Research Center, Norway
  • 1990-92 Post-doc at University of Oxford, UK
  • 1988-90 Post-doc at Lamont Earth Observatory, University of Columbia. USA
  • 1988 Ph.D., Geology, Universitat de Barcelona

 

Research Interests

My main research interest is the study of the structure and composition of the earth’s lithosphere and its interaction with the asthenosphere. In particular, most of my research activities are focused on three main objectives:

  • The study of the crustal and lithospheric structure and properties.
  • The study of the long-term evolution of the lithosphere coupling surface and deep processes.
  • The development of 2D and 3D models using gravity, geoid, elevation and thermal data.
