Project description

Study of the sequence and timing of deformation phases in the surroundings of the exposed suture zone in the Central Unit (SW Iberian Massif).

Targets

Identification and structural characterization of the different suture zones of the Iberian Massif, trying to discriminate repetitions of the same suture from their real rooting zones.
