[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

The deep structure of the Alps based on the CIFALPS seismic experiment: A synthesis
Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …

Detailed tectonic reconstructions of the Western Mediterranean region for the last 35 Ma, insights on driving mechanisms
Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Continuity of the Alpine slab unraveled by high‐resolution P wave tomography
The question of lateral and/or vertical continuity of subducted slabs in active orogens is a hot
topic partly due to poorly resolved tomographic data. The complex slab structure beneath …

Kinematics of the Alpenrhein‐Bodensee graben system in the Central Alps: Oligocene/Miocene transtension due to formation of the Western Alps arc
We report fault slip data from exhumed fault surfaces along the NNE trending Alpenrhein
valley and its intersection with the WNW striking Bodensee Graben near the Alpine thrust …

Contrasting styles of (U) HP rock exhumation along the Cenozoic Adria‐Europe plate boundary (Western Alps, Calabria, Corsica)
Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …
