Structural Development of the Ypresian - Lutetian Sequence of the northeastern Ainsa Basin, Pyrenees, Spain

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This master thesis involves the geological mapping, correlation and interpretation of the major fold-fault scheme and detail fracture analysis with emphasis on determining the structural evolution of the area highlighting the development of palaeo-stress fields under which these structures were generated. The structural evolution of the study area is viewed in perspective of the deformation related to the frontal part of the south central Pyrenean thrust and fold system. The study includes field mapping of folds, faults and fracture populations and statistical analysis of fractures.
