The main goal of the project is to provide new clues for the understanding of the dismembering of Gondwana and further Pangea amalgamation by looking at the easternmost part of the Variscan belt, i.e. its prolongation in the Moroccan (-Algerian) Meseta, at the NW Gondwana margin.
At first, this project will improve present collaboration between the CGS and the University of Strasbourg/CNRS. Then it will enhance new collaborations with Cergy-Pontoise University (France) and TOTAL oil and gas company. Collaborations with universities in Morocco such as the Chouaib Doukkali University in El Jadida are also expected.
