2. OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY
formation, the metasedimentary rocks.
The above-mentioned techniques were also
applied to several igneous lithologies which
are presented in chapter 7. Several leucosomes,
eclogites and orthogneisses were studied,
building a solid base to monetarise the igneous
activity of a magmatic arc. The intention is, to
publish these results after the actual PhD thesis is
defended. The author has also collaborated in the
preparation of two articles, which are presented
in this thesis to show the geological context of the
studied units (chapter 3) and the implication of
these units in the assembly of Pangea (chapter 8).
Another objective was to learn and to be able
to communicate ideas and results to the scientific
community. To achieve this objective the author
performed several congress communications,
with posters, and also with oral communications.
Some of the meetings were the DEFMET
congress (Interrelationship between deformation
and metamorphism, held in Granada in 2011),
the GEOPilsen conference (held in the Czech
Republic in 2013), Gondwana15 meeting (held
in Madrid in 2014), GeoFrackfurt2014 (held in
Germany in 2014) and a meeting of the Spanish
Geological Society (SGE, held in Morocco in
2015).
