Ana Crespo Blanc, born in Switzerland, is Full Professor of Geodynamics at the University of Granada (Spain) since 1993. She has been the President of the Geological Society of Spain between 2008 and 2012. Her research focuses mainly on structural and kinematic analysis, relationships between deformation and metamorphism, isotopic geochemistry, marine geology and analogue modelling. She applied these different methodologies to the knowledge of the tectonic evolution of key areas of the Hercynian chain of Iberia, the Alps, the Himalaya or the Nankay Trough. Since the nineties, her research is mainly centered on the Mediterranean region, in particular the Betic-Rif orogen around the Gibraltar Arc. She is particularly interested in the architecture and the strain partitioning of such an arcuate orogen. Presently, she is interested in kinematic reconstructions of the Western Mediterranean, for which she characterized with her research group the different deformation events thataffected the whole area. At the same time, she is involved in significant outreach activities concerning research in earth sciences.

Kosmas Pavlopoulos (KP) was born in Athens, Greece. He received his B.Sc. in Geology and Ph.D. in Environmental Geomorphology from the University of Athens, Greece in 1986 and 1992, respectively. Since 2013, KP is Professor of environmental geomorphology in Geography and Planning Department at the University of Paris-Sorbonne Abu Dhabi. His previous appointments have been in Geography Department at the Harokopio University, Athens, Greece since 1999. He was chair of the working group on geoarcheology of IAG from 2009 to 2017 and member of the Scientific Committee of the French Archaeological School in Athens from 2010 to 2017. From 2017 is member of the Executive Committee of IAG (International Association of Geomorphologists) as Publishing Editor. Recognized specialist in the field of coastal geomorphology, sedimentology, Quaternary geology,
