INGEA - Investigación en Geociencias Aplicadas

The research unit INGEA (Investigación en Geociencias Aplicadas - Research in Applied Geosciences) was born in October 2020 when a  Memorandum of Understanding  was signed between the Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) and the University of Malaga (UMA). The purpose of this Agreement is to allow collaboration between the IGME and the UMA, through the Associated Unit INGEA, for the development of joint research works, as well as in support of teaching in undergraduate and graduate education. The main lines of research focus on: application of numerical analysis techniques, simulations of geophysical fluids, investigations on geological risks and hazards, training and exchange, scientific dissemination.
