Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Abstract The long-term Pressure-Temperature-time-deformation (PTtd) evolution of the
internal zones of orogens results from complex interactions between the subducting …

Medium and high grade kyanite-bearing graphitic metapelites of the basement of the Torrox
Unit (Upper Alpujarride, Western Mediterranean) show kyanite-andalusite-kyanite …

The metamorphic core of the Betic-Rif orogenic chain (Alboran Domain) is made up of lower
crustal rocks forming the envelope of the Ronda (Spain) and Beni Bousera (Morocco) …

The variety of temporal and structural constraints on the Alpine tectonometamorphic
signature of the metamorphic core of the Betic‐Rif orogen (Alboran Domain) has supported …

The structural and thermal relaxation overprint associated with the Neogene Alboran rifting
have obscured the early Alpine tectono‐metamorphic evolution of the Alboran Domain …

Widespread overprinting of early high‐pressure/low‐temperature (HP/LT) subduction stages
due to subsequent collisional or late‐orogenic tectono‐metamorphic events is a common …

Abstract The Ronda peridotite (Betic Cordillera, Southern Spain) is the largest alpine‐type
peridotite massif worldwide. Yet, the emplacement mechanism of these mantle rocks is still a …

The processes that drastically thinned and rapidly exhumed the Alborán Domain in southern
Spain are poorly understood. Geological maps, cross-sections and a synthesis of previous …

Obduction is the tectonic process that results from thrusting of an oceanic lithosphere section
(ophiolite) onto a continent. In contrast, thrusting of subcontinental mantle, observed in …
