I, Jaume Vergés i Masip, am a structural geologist with a Ph.D. from the University of Barcelona. I have extensive experience in both industry and academic research, and have supervised over 11 PhD theses and authored more than 291 scientific publications, including about 200 in SCI journals (Scopus). My collaborative work has involved more than 380 national and international scientists from academia and industry that allowed us to achieve interdisciplinary work in different geological contexts around the world.
I am co-leader of the Group of Dynamics of the Lithosphere (GDL) at Geosciences Barcelona (Geo3Bcn), CSIC. My research focuses on the application of tectonics, sedimentology, geophysics, and numerical modeling to understand the evolution of orogenic systems (including continental collisions, subduction-related orogens, and foreland basins), as well as extensional settings and passive margins at various scales. I employ a multidisciplinary approach and custom methodologies, including numerical codes, to address complex geodynamic scenarios.
Much of my work centers on the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic system, encompassing regions from Western Iberia to the Eastern Himalayas (Pyrenees, Alps, Betic-Rif, Atlas, Taurides, Zagros in Kurdistan, Zagros in Iran, Kopeth Dagh, Tien Shan, and Himalaya-Tibet). Additionally, I participate in investigations on the Central and Western Mediterranean domains and their transition to the Atlantic.

The Group of Dynamics of the Lithosphere (GDL), founded in 1998 at the Geosciences Barcelona - Geo3Bcn-CSIC (formerly known as the Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera, ICTJA), is a collaborative research group uniting geologists and geophysicists from various institutions and nations who share a common interest in lithospheric-scale processes and their interplay with surface processes.
The Group of Dynamics of the Lithosphere is a group of researchers nucleated in 1998 at the Geosciences Barcelona –Geo3Bcn-CSIC– (previously named Inst. Earth Sciences Jaume Almera, ICTJA), incorporating researchers from different institutes and countries united by their interest on lithospheric-scale processes and their interaction with processes occurring on the Earth's surface.
A distinctive feature of the GDL is its 20-year continuous research partnership with industry (e.g., Statoil, Total, Repsol, DNO, Enresa). This fruitful collaboration has fostered significant scientific exchange and enabled the employment of over 51 pre-doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from diverse countries including Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, England, Poland, Argentina, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, and India.
The primary objectives of the GDL are:
Characterizing the structure and properties of the crust and lithosphere
Investigating the long-term lithospheric evolution, considering both shallow and deep-seated processes
Developing 2D and 3D numerical geodynamic models
