Geosystems and Earth Evolution
The Research Group GT1 focus on fundamental geosciences to deepen our understanding of the complex interactions among earth's various geosystems and their role in shaping the planet's evolution, particularly the continental crust and life. Members contributing to this thematic line are grouped in two main programs, 1A. Plate tectonics, continental crust and paleogeography, and 1B. Paleoclimate, paleoenvironments and the adaptation of species, whose objectives and themes are described below.
1A. Plate tectonics, continental crust and paleogeography
1B. Paleoclimate, paleoenvironments and the adaptation of species
In strict alignment with the CGeo's objectives, the group offers contributions in the scientific, educational and social development dimensions. It is dedicated to leading new approaches to scientific challenges, investing in the transfer of knowledge. This integrated vision of the Earth's systems contributes to teaching sustainability, one of CGeo's main objectives. It contributes as an expert in the dynamics of ocean paleocommunities, analyzing paleobiodiversity and its distribution over time (SDG 14) and seeks to protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of ancient terrestrial ecosystems (SDG 15), and addresses societal development, contributing to tourism, leisure and hospitality by characterizing the territory's resources, namely geological and subsoil, so that they can be reused as a valuable tourist resource.
