The age of brittle deformation in the superficial part of orogens is generally constrained by
relative, cross-cutting structural relationships. However, it becomes possible to decipher the …

Abstract The European Alps result from the closure of a former Triassic to Cretaceous rifting
system in which significative accumulation of Upper Triassic salt deposited. The thickness …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

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 …

Abstract The Dora‐Maira massif is an archetypal nappe stack of subducted and exhumed
upper crust. Slices of continental crust experienced metamorphism at upper blueschist to …

Abstract In the Internal Zone of a continental collisional orogen, first-order contractional
shear zones accommodate crustal shortening. Structural investigations at different scales …

The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to
the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution …

Foreland basin sedimentary strata are key records of orogenic development, but identifying
detrital thermochronometers of appropriate temperature sensitivity to detect provenance …

Raman spectroscopy, applied to the carbonaceous matter (CM) present in fault zones, is a
potentially powerful tool to aid in the reconstruction of slip conditions, provided the …

In this study, Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material (RSCM) is applied, for the first
time, in the Northern Apennines with particular focus on the Alpi Apuane (NW Tuscany, Italy) …
