Simple physical arguments, analogue experiments and numerical experiments all suggest
that the internal dynamics of actively deforming collisional mountain ranges are influenced …

The Tell-Rif (Tell in Algeria and Tunisia; Rif in Morocco) is the orogenic system fringing to
the south the West Mediterranean basins. This system comprises three major tectonic …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

Thin‐skinned fold‐and‐thrust belts related to convergence tectonics develop by scra** off
a rock sequence along a weaker basal décollement often formed by water‐saturated shale …

Although the stratigraphy of sedimentary basins depends on the balance between the
magnitude and grain‐size characteristics of the sediment supply (Qs) and the spatial …

Fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges form by compression of sedimentary
sequences and basement rocks into forward and backward thrusts, folds, nappes, and …

Analog modeling is used to study the role played by the inherited salt‐sediment architecture
of a salt‐bearing rifted margin, developed by minibasin downbuilding and margin‐scale …

Geodynamic processes are in many cases coupled to surface processes such as erosion of
mountains or deposition of sediments in basins. Numerical models that study the effect of …

Analog sandbox models have been set up to study the impact of syntectonic erosion on
thrust wedges with one and two décollement levels. Different accretion mechanisms are …

Changes to the tectonic boundary conditions governing erosional dynamics in upland
catchments have a significant effect on the nature and magnitude of sediment supply to …
