Allochthonous terranes involved in the Variscan suture of NW Iberia: A review of their origin and tectonothermal evolution
NW Iberia includes a rather complete section of a Variscan suture, where different terranes
with continental or oceanic affinities appear with clear structural relationships. Three groups …

Continental arc volcanism as the principal driver of icehouse-greenhouse variability
Variations in continental volcanic arc emissions have the potential to control atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and climate change on multimillion-year time scales. Here we …

The Cambrian-Early Ordovician rift stage in the Gondwanan units of the Iberian Massif
A rifting stage initiated the Variscan cycle in NW Gondwana, lasted from Terreneuvian to
Early Ordovician times and culminated in opening of the Rheic Ocean. The result of …

Neoproterozoic magmatic flare-up along the N. margin of Gondwana: The Taknar complex, NE Iran
Magmatic “flare-ups” are common in continental arcs. The best-studied examples of such
flare-ups are from Cretaceous and younger continental arcs, but a more ancient example is …
