This paper provides a synthesis of current data and interpretations on the crustal structure of
the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt, and presents new tectonic models for …

The kinematic evolution of the Pyrenees was largely controlled by structural and thermal
heterogeneities inherited from a precursor rift system, resulting in complex along-strike …

Abstract The Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees correspond to a Lower Cretaceous rift system
including both oceanic and hyperextended rift domains. The transition from preserved …

The Pyrenees is a collisional orogen built by inversion of an immature rift system during
convergence of the Iberian and European plates from Late Cretaceous to late Cenozoic. The …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

The existence of geological fluids rich in natural hydrogen (H 2) raises the question about
the energy potential of this carbon-free resource. However, to date there is no exploration …

Résumé New evolutionary models for the Pyrenean orogeny must consider feedbacks
between the Mid-Cretaceous hyperextension postulated recently and the Pyrenean …

Native hydrogen (H2) may represent a new carbon free‐energy resource, but to date there is
no specific exploration guide to target H2‐fertile geological settings. Here, we present the …

The prerift Mesozoic sequences of the Cretaceous passive margins fossilized in the North
Pyrenean Zone (NPZ) are characterized by high‐temperature deformation in relation with …
