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 …

We present a new digital crustal model for Moho depth and crustal structure in Europe,
Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, European Arctic shelf, and the North Atlantic Ocean (72W …

Serpentine minerals in natural samples are dominated by lizardite and antigorite. In spite of
numerous laboratory experiments, the stability fields of these species remain poorly …

The construction of five crustal-scale profiles across the Western Alps and the Ivrea mantle
wedge integrates up-to-date geological and geophysical information and reveals important …

Serpentinites associated with eclogitic rocks were examined from three areas: the Alps,
Cuba, and the Himalayas. Most serpentinites have low Al/Si and high concentrations of Ir …

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 …

The first discovery of ultrahigh-pressure coesite in the European Alps 30 years ago led to the
inference that a positively buoyant continental crust can be subducted to mantle depth; this …

Since the first discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks 30 years ago in the Western Alps,
the mechanisms for exhumation of (U) HP terranes worldwide are still debated. In the …

SUMMARY A full understanding of the dynamics of mountain ranges such as the Alps
requires the integration of available geological and geophysical knowledge into a …

The Pressure–Temperature–time–deformation evolution of the high-to ultra-high-pressure
units of the Western Alps has been progressively refined in the last 40years, leading to …
