Tectonics and Structural Geology

Hanneke Heida

Hanneke Heida is currently working as a PhD candidate at Geosciences Barcelona - CSIC. Her work focuses on using numerical modelling to quantify the vertical motions and paleo topography of the Mediterranean since the onset of the Messinian Salinity Crisis 6 million years ago, to better understand the dynamics of a basin undergoing massive and rapid environmental change.
