Seillé, Hoël (Date of defense: 2016-07-26)
The Iberian Peninsula is considered as a “micro-continent”, located between the Eurasian and the African plates. Several ranges formed during the Alpine orogeny, in the borders of the plate or intraplate. As part of this ...
Linden d’Hooghvorst Rodríguez, Jean Joseph van der (Date of defense: 2021-04-20)
This thesis uses different variants of geomechanical modelling approaches to investigate stress, strain and geometry distribution and evolution through time of the Tarfaya salt basin, located on the West African coast. ...
Mitjanas Colls, Gemma (Date of defense: 2023-01-20)
[eng] Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy that harnesses heat from the Earth's interior. Temperature increases with depth, defining the geothermal gradient, which can be variable depending on the geological ...
Jiménez de Contreras, Diana Elizabeth (Date of defense: 2019-11-20)
The purpose of this PhD thesis is to evaluate the volcanic risk associated with San Miguel Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes of El Salvador, through assessing volcanic hazard, that is, identify how a volcanic system ...
Català i Caparrós, Albert (Date of defense: 2022-02-17)
[eng] The Mediterranean region is very sensitive to modern climate variability. Located in a temperate subtropical climatic zone and surrounded almost entirely by large continental masses, the Mediterranean region climate ...
Roig-Lafon, Pere (Date of defense: 2021-06-10)
The main objectives of this PhD thesis are the identification of the snow avalanche release areas and the snow avalanche flow regime characterization with the use of seismic data. We aim to search for new methods for ...
Victoriano Lamariano, Ane (Date of defense: 2018-07-16)
La predicción de las avenidas torrenciales en zonas de montaña está limitada por la complejidad de las inestabilidades meteorológicas que las generan (tormentas convectivas con un fuerte efecto orográfico), la rápida ...
Martínez Granado, Pablo (Date of defense: 2017-05-03)
In this thesis, the 3D structure and kinematics of the locally and mildly inverted Lower Austria Mesozoic Basin beneath the Alpine-Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt is described. This study has been carried out by the ...
Nebot Miralles, Marina (Date of defense: 2016-12-16)
The Maestrat basin was one of the most subsident basins of the Iberian Rift System, which experienced two main rifting events: Late Permian-Late Triassic and Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous. Its inversion during the Cenozoic ...
Tosal Alcobé, Aixa (Date of defense: 2019-12-17)
Aquesta tesi té com a objectiu modelitzar el paleoclima del trànsit Eocè−Oligocè de la Conca de l’Ebre i conèixer com aquest canvi afectà a la flora local. Aquesta caracterització paleoclimàtica s’ha obtingut a partir de ...
de Haan, W. P. (Date of defense: 2024-03-22)
[eng] Plastic waste is a global threat to ecosystems, especially in marine systems where most of the threats from plastics occur. The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most polluted basins due to marine litter, particularly ...
Sánchez Sánchez-Pastor, Pilar (Date of defense: 2019-06-21)
Monitoring the elastic properties of the subsurface is of a special interest to mitigate the associated risk with natural and artificial hazards. In the last decade, coda-wave interferometry has become an excellent tool ...
López Saavedra, Marta (Date of defense: 2023-10-25)
[eng] Our planet is impacted by diverse natural and human-induced events, including weather-related events (floods, droughts, forest fires, etc.) and geological events (landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.). ...
Valverde Pérez, Ángel (Date of defense: 2021-01-27)
This thesis aims at improving the current understanding of the geodynamic controls on tectonic deformation during plate collision, using the Cenozoic evolution of Iberia as a case scenario. Despite the vast efforts during ...
Sánchez García, Alba (Date of defense: 2017-09-07)
El objetivo principal de la Tesis realizada ha consistido en el conocimiento de la fauna de organismos edáficos y acuáticos preservados como bioinclusiones en ámbar español de los yacimientos albienses de Peñacerrada I y ...
Torner Perez, Judit (Date of defense: 2020-07-24)
This study combines cave speleothems and marine sediments to gain an insight into the climate variability of the Iberian Peninsula (IP) and its surrounding seas associated with previous warm interglacial periods. In ...
Gómez Novell, Octavi (Date of defense: 2021-10-25)
The Eastern Betics Shear Zone (EBSZ) is one of the most active fault systems in SE Spain. It has caused damaging earthquakes in historical times, including the 2011 Lorca earthquake, which evidenced that the regional hazard ...
Ramos Ordoño, Adrià (Date of defense: 2017-06-29)
This thesis addresses the tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the SW Iberia Margin from the Mesozoic rifting stage to the post-rifting collision of Late Cretaceous through Miocene times and transpressive stages of ...
Cisneros Bermejo, Mercè (Date of defense: 2019-12-17)
Donada l’alta sensibilitat de la regió central de la Mediterrània occidental a la variabilitat climàtica, s’han reconstruït les condicions de la mar superficials i profundes així com de les atmosfèriques pels darrers 2.700 ...
