Survey), from where he retired in 2013. He is currently Honor
Professor at the Faculty of Geological Sciences, Universidad
Complutense, Madrid, where he also served temporarily as
Associate Professor. As a “survey person,” his research inter-
ests, past and present, include geological mapping, regional
geology, tectonics, and geochronology, mainly focused on the
Variscanorogeninitsglobalcontext.Hehasparticipatedinten
IGCP projects since 1979, being currently involved in Project
648: Supercontinent cycles & Global Geodynamics.

Portugal, where he acted also as head of the departments of
Geology and Mineral Resources. As a survey geologist, his
main activity has been concentrated in regional geological
mapping in Portugal and Mozambique, with particular interest
in stratigraphy, clastic sedimentology, and basin analysis.
