Geological evidence, supported by biogeographical data and in accord with
palaeomagnetic constraints, indicates that “one ocean” models for the Variscides should be …

This work is based on the compilation and re-evaluation of the most significant data, either
personal or from the literature, concerning the Moroccan Variscides. The latter constitute the …

The European Variscan and Alpine mountain chains are collisional orogens, and are built
up of pre-Variscan “building blocks” which, in most cases, originated at the Gondwana …

The early evolution of SW Europe Variscides started by opening of the Rheic ocean at∼ 500
Ma, splitting Avalonia from Armorica/Iberia. Subduction on the SE side of Rheic generated …

Deep geothermal energy represents a key element of future renewable energy production
due to its base load capability and the almost inexhaustible resource base. Especially with …

We present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age
spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic Variscan Orogen of Europe and North Africa comprises
reworked Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic crust of the northern Gondwanan shelf that …

We combine a geological, geochemical and tectonic dataset from 118 ophiolite complexes
of the major global Phanerozoic orogenic belts with similar datasets of ophiolites from 111 …

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 general configuration of the main continental blocks in the Gondwana supercontinent
and the Ediacaran–early Paleozoic tectonic evolution of its northern margin are widely …
