***Summary
The aim is to study the Valanginian and Aptien-Albien intervals of the Agadir-Essaouira Basin, using stratigraphy, sedimentology, isotopic geochemistry, micropalaeontology of calcareous nanofossils and synsedimentary tectonics, to reconstruct paleoenvironments and their evolution, their role in the oceanic crises experienced during these periods, and the geometry of sedimentary bodies and aquifers.
