The Tell-Rif (Tell in Algeria and Tunisia; Rif in Morocco) is the orogenic system fringing to
the south the West Mediterranean basins. This system comprises three major tectonic …

Abstract The Rif belt (Northern Morocco) forms the western edge of the Alpine-Himalayan
orogenic system, resulting from the progressive closure of the Tethys oceanic domain …

Two orthogonal extensional systems produced the extensional collapse of the Tell and Atlas
thrust belts in northern Tunisia during the Late Miocene to Pliocene in a context of NW‐SE …

Abstract During the Algerian-French SPIRAL survey aimed at investigating the deep
structure of the Algerian margin and basin, two coincident wide-angle and reflection seismic …

We study the structure of the Llevant ranges in Mallorca with special emphasis on the
Cenozoic extensional evolution of the island, which we integrate in a new geodynamic …

Cenozoic extension in the Western Mediterranean has been related to the dynamics of back‐
arc domains. Although, in most of its orogenic belts extension propagated into the fore‐arc …

Diamond-bearing UHP metamorphic rocks witness for subduction of lithospheric slabs into
the mantle and their return to shallow levels. In this study we present U–Pb and trace …

In spite of clear fan‐shaped magnetic anomalies in the Eastern Algero‐Balearic Basin
(EABB), the way how and the time when seafloor spreading occurred are still debated. In …

The sliding incidences along the mountainous roads in the northern part of Algeria are
considered a major hazard, often with huge impacts on infrastructures, causing terrible …

While ocean subduction at continental margins is a prominent process of plate tectonics,
understanding how and where it begins is still being debated, especially because examples …
