Joaquin Bastias-Silva

I am a geologist interested in the evolution of continents, focused on geochronology, thermochronology and isotopic tracing. I obtained my bachelor and master's degree in the University of Chile and a doctorate in Earth Sciences in the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Most of my research has been related with the tectono-magmatic evolution of West Antarctica and Patagonia and in particular the Antarctic Peninsula. My published material mostly deals with the tectonic evolution of the Antarctic Peninsula based in the magmatic rocks and I have collaborated with researchers working on the evolution of the Weddell Sea, sedimentation and biological processes in polar areas.  My upcoming work deals with thermal evolution of the magmatic rocks of the Antarctic Peninsula's arc based in thermochronology and thermal modelling.
