It is a great pleasure to invite you all to the second iteration of the salt-focused field trip to the Lusitanian and Algarve basins that will take place between 27th and 31st of March 2023.

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 (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.

Full details of the trip, including itinerary, cost and registration details are available click here.

Please bear in mind that field trip is limited to 20 participants and reservations will be on a first come, first served basis.
