Webinar Overview:  The geology of the northwest Iberia includes of a series of thrusted massifs that have been isolated from each other by erosion (allochthonous klippes) and are collectively known as the Galicia-Trás-os-Montes Zone (GTMZ). The presented study will attempt to geochemically link the isolated units of the GTMZ of northwest Iberia.  Download abstract.
