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 …
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 …
This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology, geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …
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 …
Although the stratigraphy of sedimentary basins depends on the balance between the magnitude and grain‐size characteristics of the sediment supply (Qs) and the spatial …
Structural style of fold and thrust belts depends among many other factors on the mechanical properties of the deformed sedimentary pile and the existence of weak horizons such as salt …

Analog modeling is used to study the role played by the inherited salt‐sediment architecture of a salt‐bearing rifted margin, developed by minibasin downbuilding and margin‐scale …
Abstract During the Paleogene and Neogene the NE Iberian plate underwent significant paleogeographic changes driven by the Iberian and European plate collision and the …
