We review estimates of collisional shortening along the Alpine Chain and reassess its
amounts, showing that it increases from south to north in the Western Alps, attaining a …

The unlined Bedretto tunnel crosses large parts of the pre-Triassic basement of the Gotthard
massif (Central Alps), giving the possibility to study late-Variscan plutonic rocks (Rotondo …

The boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (= Briançonnais) Zones has long been
recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain …

This study investigates strain distribution in granitoid rocks formerly in the middle crust in the
Central Aar massif, Switzerland and places the deformation behavior in the tectonic …

We investigate the trace element and U‐Pb systematics of apatite of 19 samples of
metapelites and calcareous metapelites from two progressive metamorphic sequences from …

Foreland basin sedimentary strata are key records of orogenic development, but identifying
detrital thermochronometers of appropriate temperature sensitivity to detect provenance …

During the late Palaeozoic, lithospheric thinning in part of the Alpine realm caused high-
temperature low-to-medium pressure metamorphism and partial melting in the lower crust …

Detrital geochronology employing the widely‐used zircon U‐Pb proxy is biased toward
igneous events and metamorphic anatexis; additionally, zircon is highly refractory and …

The recycling of lithosphere-hosted volatile and fluid-mobile elements (eg, H2O, CO2, B,
halogens) back into the convecting mantle via subduction has been crucial for Earth's …

In this study, Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material (RSCM) is applied, for the first
time, in the Northern Apennines with particular focus on the Alpi Apuane (NW Tuscany, Italy) …
