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 …

The Atlas system (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) constitutes an important morphologic
barrier fringing the Sahara platform. Its structural style changes along strike from a thick …

The sculpture of valleys by flowing water is widely recognized, and simplified models of
incision by this process (eg, the stream power law) are the basis for most recent landscape …

Estimating shortening in collision belts is critical to reconstruct past plate motions. Balanced
cross‐section techniques are efficient in external domains but lack resolution in the …

The Tethyside orogen, a direct consequence of the separation of the Gondwanaland and the
accretion of Eurasia, is a huge composite orogenic system that was generated during …

Initial SE-dip** slow subduction of the Ligurian–Tethys lithosphere beneath Africa from
Late Cretaceous to middle Oligocene twisting to a later faster E-dip** subduction of the …

The evolution of the Pyrenees, a mountain range between Iberia and Eurasia, has remained
the subject of many debates between geologists and geophysicists for a long time. By …

The Pyrenean Mountains represent the westernmost end of the long Alpine-Himalayan
collisional system. The excellent preservation of foreland basin deposits in conjunction with …

Surface and subsurface data are combined to construct a crustal‐scale cross section of the
western central Pyrenees (France and Spain) at the boundary between the European and …
