The basins and orogens of the Mediterranean region ultimately result from the opening of
oceans during the early break-up of Pangea since the Triassic, and their subsequent …

This paper provides a synthesis of current data and interpretations on the crustal structure of
the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt, and presents new tectonic models for …

As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Defining the structural style of fold–thrust belts and understanding the controlling factors are
necessary steps towards prediction of their long-term and short-term dynamics, including …

Assessing the size of a former ocean of which only remnants are found in mountain belts is
challenging but crucial to understanding subduction and exhumation processes. Here we …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

Résumé New evolutionary models for the Pyrenean orogeny must consider feedbacks
between the Mid-Cretaceous hyperextension postulated recently and the Pyrenean …

Native hydrogen (H2) may represent a new carbon free‐energy resource, but to date there is
no specific exploration guide to target H2‐fertile geological settings. Here, we present the …

Imaging the architecture of mountain roots is required to understand the support of
topography and for kinematic reconstructions at convergent plate boundaries, but is still …
