Mountains are the result of multiple processes and complex interactions through long periods of time and in many cases under different geodynamic contexts. These characteristics make tectonic structures have a complex control on sedimentation, mineral deposits, relief and seismicity. The study of the orogens evolution requires a multidisciplinary approach to understand all the processes interactions and the role of inherited structures in the reactivations and seismic activity. We study orogens to increase understanding of the region’s tectonic with a particular focus on the relations between tectonics and surface and deep processes, sedimentology and seismicity.  We employ a range techniques that include structural geology, field observations, structural mapping, analytical measurements, geochronology, geochemistry and laboratory experiments. Our current research is mainly carried out in the Iberian Peninsula and the Chilean and Argentinian Andes.
