The group established itself as Consolidated&nbsp;Group of Research SGR of the Catalonian Government since 2009.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">This group is characterised by a multidisciplinary approach, that lies in the integration of tectonic, geochemical&nbsp;and geophysical studies with studies related to the external processes (erosion, sinorogenic sedimentation), in order to comprehend the formation of mountain belts, the evolution of relief and the sediment dispersal patterns&nbsp;in sedimentary basins. The group&#8217;s scientific activity integrates the high and low temperature geochronology, which provides an essential quantitative frame so as to quantify the deep earth and surface&nbsp;processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">The connection between surface and deep earth processes, in the frontier between different disciplines, constitutes one of the most up-to-date research lines in the Earth sciences. The group&#8217;s studies are applied to real natural examples as the Pyrenees, the Atlas mountains&nbsp;in the Maghreb, the Andes or the ancient&nbsp;Variscan Belt. The research includes&nbsp;from essential scientific aspects analysed by a wide range of methods&nbsp;to the practical application of knowledge in&nbsp;hydrocarbon reservoir&nbsp;characterisation or the study of induced seismicity. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><strong>Key words that identify the group&#8217;s activity:&nbsp;<\/strong>Geodynamics, Tectonics, Structural Geology, Petrology, Relief evolution, Geomorphology, Sedimentary Geology, Source to sink, Geochronology, Thermochronology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/grupsderecerca.uab.cat\/supraterra\/sites\/grupsderecerca.uab.cat.supraterra\/files\/destacats\/esquema_0.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Interrelationships of the original research team<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The research group SUPRATERRA is formed by researchers of the Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona Geology&nbsp;Department, and&nbsp;by collaborators of&nbsp;external Spanish and&nbsp;foreign&nbsp;institutions.
