Scientific Interests

Main Interests: 

The geochemical evolution of the mantle and crust; the formation and collapse of orogens, the relation between a geochemical signature and a geodynamic setting; the concentration and distribution of elements with economic value.

Projects (10 most relevant): 

The link between rhyolitic volcanism and the Aljustrel VHMS deposit (Iberian Pyrite Belt): volcanic facies, geochemistry and geochronology.

Petrology and Geochemistry of the shoshonitic massifs of Veiros and Vale de Maceira (Ossa-Morena-Zone): geodynamic implications.

Mineral Exploration at Neves-Corvo

Geological survey of the Rossio Tunnel
