IGI has just started a partnership with Geo Logica (www.geologica.xyz) for fieldtrips in Portugal,
covering a multitude of themes, including Petroleum Systems, Geothermal Energy and Gas Storage. The Lusitanian Basin, in the Lisbon and West Country region of Portugal, is an open geological gallery, with records of rifting (opening of the Atlantic Ocean), basin inversion (ongoing Africa-Eurasia collision), magmatic activity, salt tectonics, and of life on Earth in the last 200 million years. Nature is spectacular, with many outcrops in coastal cliffs, the weather is field-friendly during most of the year, and the region is easily accessible, with numerous sites of historical interest, if you ever get bored of looking at the rocks!
