We present a new global model for Recent plate velocities, REVEL, describing the relative
velocities of 19 plates and continental blocks. The model is derived from publicly available …

The European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS) and associated fault systems transect all
Variscan Massifs in the foreland of the Alps. ECRIS was activated during the Eocene in the …

This study presents new Relative Sea Level (RSL) data that were obtained in the Finistère
region (Western tip of Brittany, France) and the implications those data have for the …

Trench investigations along the Bree fault scarp in Belgium, in the framework of a first
paleoseismological experience in the area of the Lower Rhine Graben system, have not …

Recognising of tectonic deformations in Quaternary sediments is important for interpretating
palaeoclimatic developments accurately. Distinguishing deformations caused by seismic …

Crystalline-rock aquifers generally yield limited groundwater resources. However, some
highly productive aquifers may be encountered, typically near tectonic discontinuities. In this …

This study is a first synthesis focused on incised-valleys located within the inner shelf of the
Bay of Biscay. It is based on previously published results obtained during recent seismic …

The origin of water flowing in faults and fractures at great depth is poorly known in crystalline
media. This paper describes a field study designed to characterize the geochemical …

Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene transition was a time of major climate instability and a shift
from an ice-free world to a predominant icehouse climate. Identifying the ancient glacial …

While groundwater constitutes a crucial resource in many crystalline-rock regions
worldwide, well-yield conditions are highly variable and barely understood. Nevertheless, it …
