IRTG-STRATEGY

Program objective. StRATEGy's goal is to establish an international virtual campus devoted to source-to-sink studies in the NW and central Argentine Andes and foreland basin, fostering an exchange and mobility program that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. We have chosen foreland basins and their adjacent orogenic interiors as the main focus of our study, because these regions potentially record the links between deep-Earth and surface processes, including volcanism and tectonics, climate and erosion/sedimentation, as well as their impact on metallogenesis, hydrocarbon resource generation, and fluid migration. We will follow an integrative approach in research and teaching that spans the study of geological archives, present-day monitoring, modeling, and communication. The hallmark of this holistic geoscientific approach is to rectify the deficit in transdisciplinary graduate education of tectonically and climatically driven processes in the source-to-sink system of the..
