The non-cylindrical character of the Variscan Belt is established via a description of its most
salient geological characteristics and correlations among the main and relatively minor …

The Rheic Ocean, which separated Laurussia from Gondwana following the closure of
Iapetus, is arguably the most important ocean of the Palaeozoic. Its suture extends from …

Abstract The European Variscan belt is a unique orogen that is covered by comprehensive
sets of seismic and potential field data from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Polish …

U‐Pb (zircon) crystallization ages of 52 late‐Variscan granitoid intrusions from NW Iberia (19
from new data, 33 from previous studies) constrain the lithospheric evolution of this realm of …

IBERSEIS, a 303 km long (20 s) deep seismic reflection profile, was acquired across the
Variscan belt in SW Iberian Peninsula. The acquisition parameters were designed to obtain …

The Variscan metamorphic evolution of the autochthonous domain of NW and Central Iberia
is characterized by a Barrovian gradient followed by a high-temperature–low-pressure …

The Paleozoic Variscan orogeny was a large-scale collisional event involving amalgamation
of multiple continents and micro-continents. Existing data, suggests oroclinal buckling of an …

Out of sequence breaching thrusts may give rise to duplication of a former thrust stack in
map view in the same manner that stratigraphic units are repeated by initial thrusts. In this …

Late-to post-orogenic oroclinal bending in conjunction with thinning of the lithospheric
mantle is potentially an important component of the waning stages of plate convergence in …

Integrated analysis of normal-incidence and large-aperture seismic reflection data collected
in 1992 and 1993 within the Spanish ESCIN and complementary projects provide a first …
