Meet the organizers of this project!





Dr. Sandra M. Barr
Professor and Bancroft Chair in Geology
Department of Earth and Environmental Science
Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada
E-mail: Sandra.barr@acadiau.ca
My research for almost 50 years has focused on the geological history of the northern Appalachian orogen, especially similarities and difference among its many component terranes and their global provenance.
Dr. Saïd Belkacim
AssistantProfessor
Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Ibn Zohr University
Agadir, Morocco.
E-mail : s.belkacim@uiz.ac.ma
My research is focused on the geological and geodynamic evolution of the northern part of West African Craton during the Pan African orogeny (Neoproterozoic).This research is based on geochemical, isotopic (Sm-Nd) and geochronological investigations from the Moroccan Anti-Atlas belt.
Dr. Faouziya Haissen
Professor in Petrology
Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences Ben M’sik
Hassan 2 University of Casablanca, Casablanca, Morocco
E-mail address: faouziya.haissen@gmail.com
My research is mainly focused on the geological history of Morocco, currently on the West African Craton and its adjacent terranes and the Northern alpine belt.
Dr. Yvette D. Kuiper
Associate Professor

My research focuses on the evolution of mountain belts, with a focus on structural geology of ductilely deformed rocks, geochronology and tectonic processes. I have been working in the New England Appalachians in the northeastern USA for 15 years and more recently have started to branch out to adjacent and related areas, including Morocco.
Dr. Pilar González Montero
Professor in Petrology & Geochemistry
Dpt. Mineralogy and petrology
University of Granada. SPAIN
E-mail : pmontero@ugr.es / pilar_montero@mac.com
My research career has two aspects: one technical, in isotope laboratories, and another more scientific, dedicated to geochronology, isotopic geology, and high T geochemistry. In the last years I also focused my research in the study of experimental stability of isotopic systems of zircons.
