The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Around 88% of the history of the Earth occurred during the Precambrian period, which can
be subdivided into the Archaean and the Proterozoic eons (Figs. 2.1 & 2.2). The Archaean …

Abstract The European Variscan belt is a unique orogen that is covered by comprehensive
sets of seismic and potential field data from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Polish …

This work is based on the compilation and re-evaluation of the most significant data, either
personal or from the literature, concerning the Moroccan Variscides. The latter constitute the …

The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500
Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated …

This paper provides a review of the evolution of palaeomagnetic directions and sequence of
tectonic events in the European Variscan belt during Late Palaeozoic times. These data are …

The present work deals with the provenance of lower-middle Jurassic successions
belonging to the External Prerif Foreland basin, which remains till now misunderstood and …

Abstract Iberia, Avalonia and the “Armorican” terranes form key constituents of the Variscan–
Appalachian orogen, but their Neoproterozoic origins along the northern Gondwanan …

An integrated interpretation of the late Paleozoic structural and geochronological record of
the Iberian Massif is presented and discussed under the perspective of a Gondwana …
