[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 …

[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

A paleolatitude calculator for paleoclimate studies
Realistic appraisal of paleoclimatic information obtained from a particular location requires
accurate knowledge of its paleolatitude defined relative to the Earth's spin-axis. This is …

Formation and deformation of hyperextended rift systems: Insights from rift domain map** in the Bay of Biscay‐Pyrenees
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 …

Origin and consequences of western Mediterranean subduction, rollback, and slab segmentation
The western Mediterranean recorded subduction rollback, slab segmentation and
separation. Here we address the questions of what caused Oligocene rollback initiation, and …

[HTML][HTML] Kinematics and extent of the Piemont–Liguria Basin–implications for subduction processes in the Alps
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 …

Placing limits to shortening evolution in the Pyrenees: Role of margin architecture and implications for the Iberia/Europe convergence
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 …

Kinematic evolution of the southern North Atlantic: Implications for the formation of hyperextended rift systems
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 …
