[HTML][HTML] Orogenic architecture of the Mediterranean region and kinematic reconstruction of its tectonic evolution since the Triassic
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 …

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere in the Alps: Selective and archetypal from (slow-spreading) oceans
P Agard - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

Continuous exhumation of mantle-derived rocks at the Southwest Indian Ridge for 11 million years
The global mid-ocean ridge system, where tectonic plates diverge, is traditionally thought of
as the largest single volcanic feature on the Earth. Yet, wide expanses of smooth sea floor in …

Necking of continental crust in magma‐poor rifted margins: Evidence from the fossil Alpine Tethys margins
Studies conducted in present‐day magma‐poor rifted margins reveal that the transition from
weakly thinned continental crust (∼ 30 km) in proximal margins to hyper‐extended crust (≤ …

Ivrea mantle wedge, arc of the Western Alps, and kinematic evolution of the Alps–Apennines orogenic system
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 …

Reappraisal of the magma-rich versus magma-poor rifted margin archetypes
Rifted margins are commonly defined as magma-poor or magma-rich archetypes based on
their morphology. We re-examine the prevailing model inferred from this classification that …

Recognizing remnants of magma-poor rifted margins in high-pressure orogenic belts: The Alpine case study
Magma-poor rifted margins are being increasingly recognized in present-day Atlantic-type
systems. However, findings of fossil areas floored by exhumed mantle or hyper-extended …
