Insights on the formation and evolution of Mediterranean basins
6 July 1998 - 6 July 1998
France
An advanced study course on "Insights on the formation and evolution of Mediterranean basins" will be held in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, from 6 to 27 July 1998. Directed by Dr. Jacques Deverchère of the "Observatoire Oceanologique de Villefranche-sur-Mer", the course is part of the European training programme in marine sciences and technologies developed by the Community's specific RTD programme in the field of Marine Science and Technology (MAST).
Aimed at graduate students and young scientists, the course is designed to provide an overview of the latest developments in our understanding of the geodynamics of the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, the course will include:
- Presentation of recent improvements in the understanding of the tertiary-quaternary evolution of Mediterranean back-arc basins, with a special emphasis on the Liguro-Provençal and Tyrrhenian domains within the Alpine orogen, considered as case studies in the processes of tertiary-quaternary evolution of Mediterranean basins;
- Offshore practical training in the Ligurian basin, providing an opportunity to directly observe offshore and land evidences for tertiary deformations depicting time-space relationships between basin, subduction, and orogen evolutions;
- A combined methodological approach based on a full purchase, analysis and processing of marine seismic reflection data and on a detailed tectonic field study.
