Abstract The Pyrenean-Cantabrian Orogen arose through the collision of the Iberian and
Eurasian plates, mostly in Cenozoic times. This orogen comprises two main mountain …

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 …

The intraplate deformation of Iberia during the Cenozoic produced a series of ranges and
deformation belts with a wide variety of structural trends. The Spanish‐Portuguese Central …

Abstract The Pyrenean Belt ends against the Gulf of Lion passive margin. The mechanism
responsible for dismantling the mountain belt during Oligocene rifting has not yet found a …

We discuss the drivers of the Pyrenean post-orogenic exhumation, including drainage
migration, flexural rebound and tectonic reactivation. We provide new low-temperature …

Abstract In the northern Iberian Peninsula, the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt extends
EW for ca. 1000 km between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. This orogen …

Abstract The Asturian Basin, situated on the North Iberian margin, is a Permian-Mesozoic
extensional basin developed over a Variscan Palaeozoic basement, subsequently inverted …

Constraining the way in which continental deformation is accommodated in time and space
is essential to reconcile past plate movements with geological observations. Kinematic …

This contribution investigates the role of a hyperextended rift system in the formation of the
Basque–Cantabrian Pyrenees by discussing their present‐day architecture as well as the …

Alpine caves have attracted considerable geomorphological, paleoenvironmental and
hydrogeological interest since climate, glaciations, relief uplift, fluvial incision and karst …
