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 …

Here we describe the structure, the high-pressure, low-temperature (HP-LT) metamorphism
and tectonic evolution of the Briançonnais distal margin units from the south Western Alps …

Abstract Field, petrographic, geophysical, geochronological, elemental and isotopic data
support the identification of distinct components of a Wilson cycle (rift-drift-subduction …

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 …

Abstract The Choiyoi Magmatic Province represents a major episode of silicic magmatism in
southwestern Pangea in the mid-Permian-Triassic, the origin of which remains intensely …

The Sveconorwegian orogeny encompasses magmatic, metamorphic and deformational
events between ca. 1140 and 920 Ma at the southwestern margin of Fennoscandia. In …

Transform margins represent lithospheric plate boundaries with horizontal sliding of the
oceanic plate, which in time and space replaced the subduction-related convergent margins …

The tectono‐stratigraphic evolution of rift systems is at present poorly understood, especially
the one preceding the onset of oceanic seafloor spreading. Improving our understanding of …

Meter‐to hectometer‐size horizons of carbonate‐bearing talcschists are found along or near
the contacts between the different Liguro‐Piemont subduction slices. Through mineral and …

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 …
