Advanced seismic methods applied to the study of snow avalanche dynamics and avalanche formation

Pérez Guillén, Cristina (Date of defense: 2016-06-27)

Snow avalanches are extended moving sources of infrasonic and seismic energy. The acoustic and seismic wave fields generated by an avalanche is a complex natural phenomenon produced by the interaction of the flow with its ...

Geoelectrical characterisation of Alpine orogenic belts in the Iberian Peninsula using the magnetotelluric method

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 ...

Teleconnexions atmosfera-oceà a la regió intertropical durant el Plistocè inferior

Povea de Castro, Patricia (Date of defense: 2016-12-02)

Els sediments marins profunds són claus per a la comprensió de la variabilitat del clima al llarg de la història de la Terra. Aquests sediments contenen una gran varietat d’indicadors per reconstruir canvis tan de l’oceà ...

Mesozoic extension and Cenozoic contraction in the Eastern Iberian Chain (Maestrat Basin) = Tectònica extensiva mesozoica i contractiva cenozoica a la Cadena Ibèrica oriental

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 ...

Teleconnexions atmosfèriques i resposta oceanogràfica a les mars Mediterrània Nordoccidental i Cantàbrica

Rumín Caparrós, Aitor (Date of defense: 2017-03-23)

Hom considera que els oceans són sistemes altament complexos, la dinàmica dels quals depèn de la interrelació de processos físics, químics i biològics. En aquests context, l’estudi dels intercanvis verticals de matèria ...
