In all reconstructions published during the last two decades, the Austroalpine and the
correlative Southalpine basement units of the Eastern Alps were considered to represent a …

The Alps are amongst the best subduction archives in the world, with abundant blueschists
and eclogites preserving fragments of mantle, gabbros, thinned continental margin and …

The new tectonic map of the Alps is based on the combination of purely structural data with
criteria regarding paleogeographical affiliation and/or tectono-metamorphic evolution. The …

Abstract The Alps and Western Carpathians constitute that part of the Alpine-Mediterranean
orogenic belt which advances furthest to the north into Central Europe. They were formed by …

We present a tectonic map of the Tauern Window and surrounding units (Eastern Alps,
Austria), combined with a series of crustal-scale cross-sections parallel and perpendicular to …

The nappe stack of the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA), a part of the Austroalpine nappe
complex, forms the uppermost tectonic unit of the Eastern Alps. The sedimentary …

The formation of major exhumed strike-slip faults represents one of the most important
dynamic processes affecting the evolution of the Earth's lithosphere. Detailed models of the …

Garnet in metapelites from the Wölz and Rappold Complexes of the Austroalpine basement
east of the Tauern Window typically shows two distinct growth zones. A first garnet …

Interpretation of Sm–Nd garnet ages is frequently impaired by one of the following
restrictions:(a) high-LREE inclusions,(b) isotopic disequilibrium, and (c) the uncertainty …

Zircon populations of Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic age occur in metabasites of a
high-pressure amphibolite-facies unit of the Austroalpine basement south of the Tauern …
