The already world famous Geo Logica Salt Basins Technical Interest Group Field Trip is back again in 2025. The fifth iteration of this professional field-based training course will take place between 6th and 10th of October 2025, along the #Lusitanian and #Algarve basins in Portugal.

From #salttectonics and its interaction with sedimentary and igneous processes, the upcoming course is certified by the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) in association with Associação Portuguesa de Geólogos(APG).

This technical training course is especially designed for professional structural geologists, salt experts, mining geologists and geophysicists, focusing on the role of salt-related structures in the ongoing #energytransition process.  It will cover a multitude of salt-related themes, including implications on #oilandgas #exploration and #production, #geothermal #energy, #CarbonCapture and #Sequestration and #underground #energystorage.

This 5 day professional training course takes place along the Western Iberian Margin (WIM), between Alentejo Basin (including CAMP and Sines Igneous Complex) and the Lusitanian Basin (including Sintra Igneous Complex and Lisbon Volcanic Complex), in Portugal.

The main objective of the field trip is to highlight the complexity and problematics of interpreting magmatic-related structures on different datasets and at different scales (outcrops, seismic data, potential fields data), while understanding the implications of magmatism in the regional and local structural framework, hydrocarbon maturation, reservoir properties distribution, trap creation and/or destruction, natural hydrogen generation and CO2 sequestration and mineralization.

The Geo Logica Salt Basins Technical Interest Group Field Trip is back and will take place between 7th and 11th of October 2024, along the #Lusitanian and #Algarve basins in Portugal.

This highly technical training course is especially designed for professional structural geologists, salt experts, mining geologists and geophysicists, focusing on the role of salt-related structures in the ongoing #energytransition process.  It will cover a multitude of salt-related themes, including implications on #oilandgas #exploration and #production, #geothermal #energy, #CarbonCapture and #Sequestrationand #underground #energystorage.

This field trip focus on the structural aspects of magmatic rocks and is part of the 8th Conjugate Margins Conference that will take place in late May at Lisbon, Portugal.

The field trip will happen between 25th and 26th of May 2024 along Cascais and Sintra coastal area (Lisbon, Portugal). The main objective is to highlight the complexity and problematics of interpreting magmatic-related structures on different datasets and scales (outcrops vs seismic), while understanding the implications of magmatism in the regional and local structural framework, hydrocarbon maturation, reservoir properties distribution, trap creation and/or destruction and generation of natural hydrogen accumulation and CO2 sequestration and mineralization.

It is a great pleasure to invite you all to join for a salt-focused field trip to the Lusitanian and Algarve basins that will take place between 16th and 20th of October 2023. Geo Logica is thrilled to inform that is organising the third field trip for the Salt Basin Technical Interest Group (TIG) that will take place early this year in Portugal.

This highly technical field trip, especially designed for professional structural geologists and salt experts, will be led by Pedro Barreto of Geo Logica alongside Prof. Ian Davison (former Earthmoves and Royal Holloway - University of London) and Dr. Ricardo Pereira (FCT NOVA & Dom Luiz Institute, Lisbon).

Our field guides will take participants from salt diapirs and salt mines along the southern coast of Portugal to fortress towns built on top of intra-salt limestone stringers and examples of salt-sediment interaction along the West Atlantic Coast. This field trip will cover a multitude of salt-related themes, including implications on oil and gas exploration and production, geothermal energy, Carbon Capture and Sequestration and underground energy storage.

This 4-day trekking Geo Adventure will take you along 24 km of the most beautiful and prestine mountain landscape in central Spain. Hike while discovering the geological history and glacial geomorphological processes that sculpted the Sierra de Gredos. Sleep in a mountain hut while enjoying the beauty of being surrounded by majestic cliffs carved by glaciers over thousands of years and from where you can see the stars like nowhere else.
