The David Hall Exploration Fund Student Mapping Project Presentations will take place on Monday 2nd March at 7pm.
Theertha Rajesh and Natalie Cole, both final year Geology students in UCD, will present their mapping projects.
Theertha’s final year mapping project will focus on the Villamanin region in north western Spain, an area within the Variscan fold and thrust belt associated with the Pyrenean-Cantabrian mountains. The primary aim is to understand the timing and nature of lithological deposition, particularly in the context of facies successions that reflect environmental and depositional changes through time.
The second major focus is on structural geology. Natalie’s mapping project will also focus on the Villaminin region in north western Spain. The primary goal is to understand the geological and tectonic development of the area including changes in depositional setting and any mineralisation that may have occurred.
The study will also investigate how these rocks have been influenced by the deformation associated with tectonic events, such as folding, faulting and volcanism. This lecture is open to all. Registration is open via the IAEG website IAEG – IAEG 2026 Lecture Series – David Hall Fund Students Mapping Project Presentations. Please register in plenty of time to ensure you receive an invite.
