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 …

This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of the Pyrenees since~ 84 Ma and is
uniquely focused on analysing jointly and comparatively its peripheral pro-foreland, retro …

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 …

Estimating shortening in collision belts is critical to reconstruct past plate motions. Balanced
cross‐section techniques are efficient in external domains but lack resolution in the …

Abstract The West European collisional Alpine belts are the result of the inversion, initiated
in the middle Cretaceous, of the complex western Neotethys and the Atlantic continental rift …

An improved method of U–Pb dating of vein calcite formed during deformation is used to
determine the age and cause of folding along the south coast of England. Fractures arising …

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 …

Abstract Since c. 3.1 Ga, pegmatite mineral deposits in orogenic areas have been formed
throughout geological time in pulses, alternating with total absence of generating activity …

The extent to which heat recorded in orogens reflects thermal conditions inherited from
previous rift-related processes is still debated and poorly documented. As a case study, we …

Although there is some evidence for an Eocene monsoon, the most important intensification
of rainfall appears to start at c. 24 Ma in the Early Miocene. Many palaeoceanographical …
