Although the exhumation of high pressure (HP) and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) rocks is an
integral process in subduction, it is a transient process, likely taking place during 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 Betic-Rif arc is one of the smallest and tightest orogenic arcs on Earth, and together with
its extensional hinterland, the Alborán Domain, it formed between two colliding continents …

We present a new thermodynamic activity-composition model for di-trioctahedral chlorite in
the system FeO–MgO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2–H 2 O that is based on the Holland–Powell internally …

The Rif Belt belongs to a much larger orogen, ie the Betic-Rif-Tell orogen, which itself is part
of the still larger Mediterranean Alpine belts (Fig. 5.1; see also Chap. 1.1, Fig. 1.2). The Rif …

The Tell-Rif (Tell in Algeria and Tunisia; Rif in Morocco) is the orogenic system fringing to
the south the West Mediterranean basins. This system comprises three major tectonic …

Multichannel seismic reflection images across the transition between the east Alborán and
the Algero‐Balearic basins show how crustal thickness decreases from about 5 s two‐way …

Abstract The West European collisional Alpine belts are the result of the inversion, initiated
in the middle Cretaceous, of the complex western Neotethys and the Atlantic continental rift …

Quantitative X‐ray maps of composition from a chlorite, K‐white mica, albite, quartz and
garnet bearing thin section from a Sambagawa blueschist facies metapelite were combined …

We present the first P‐T, deformation time, and kinematic constraints on the only known
blueschist facies rocks (BS) present in the Zagros (Hajiabad area). The BS were …
