I would like to express my gratitude to my two supervisors of this master's thesis, Flor de Lis Mancilla and Ana Negredo, for their countless advice and suggestions and for all their help and support. Additionally, to the Andalusian Institute of Geophysics (IAG) and all its team members for giving me the opportunity to develop this work in a very supportive and comfortable environment.Finally, I thank the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (geodynamics.org) which is funded by the National Science Foundation under award EAR-0949446 and EAR-1550901 for supporting the development of ASPECT.
