North Caribbean Plate Kinematics : What Do Suture Zones Tell Us ?
Laboratories : ISTerre-M&U sas (Grenoble) and Total R&D (Pau)
Supervisors : Júlia Gómez-Romeu (M&U sas, ISTerre), Emmanuel Masini (M&U sasu, ISTerre), Anne Replumaz (ISTerre) and Sylvain Calassou (Total R&D)
Contacts : emmanuel.masini univ-grenoble-alpes.fr ; j.gomez-romeu mandu-geology.fr
Skills and motivations : geodynamics (rifting and orogenesis), seismic reflection data interpretation, plate kinematics
The plate kinematics of the whole Caribbean region is controversial and therefore it requires to be further investigated. This is the aim of a post-doctoral research project within which we offer a stimulating M1-M2 research project. Therefore, the candidate’s work will contribute on to better understand a large-tectonic scale problem related with a rifting stage (extensional tectonics) and how this controls the initiation of subduction (contractional tectonics).
