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 …

The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

A numerical model of the coupled processes of tectonic deformation and surface erosion in
convergent orogens is developed to investigate the nature of the interaction between these …

An extensive structural study of Wuyishan and surrounding areas (South China) brings data
on the structures formed prior to the Devonian unconformity, building the Lower Paleozoic …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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

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 …
