Examples of atypical syn-collisional wedges from offshore Sabah and Palawan, Indo-Burma
Ranges, Gibraltar Arc, Banda Arc resemble accretionary prisms, but formed over subducted …

The architecture and tectono-magmatic evolution of the lithosphere of Europe are the result
of a succession of subduction, rifting and inputs from plumes that have modified the …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to
the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution …

The Gibraltar Arc includes the Betic and Rif Cordilleras surrounding the Alboran Sea; it is
formed at the northwest–southeast Eurasia–Nubia convergent plate boundary in the …

The high‐pressure metamorphic Nevado‐Filábride Complex (NFC) in the Betics mountain
range of southeastern Spain exhibits continental and ocean‐derived tectonic units, which …

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 …

Résumé The lost Tethys Ocean was the favorite topic of Jean Dercourt's research. The
Tethys project and his 1986 paper displaying detailed reconstructions in 9 plates from the …

This contribution reviews the challenges of imaging collisional orogens, focusing on the
example of the Pyrenean domain. Indeed, important progresses have been accomplished …

The interplay between structural and metamorphic processes operating along the deep
plate interface in subduction zones remains elusive as much of the geologic record is …
