Mélanges represent a significant component of collisional and accretionary orogenic belts.
We present a comparison of subduction-accretion mélanges of different ages to test how …

The Alps are amongst the best subduction archives in the world, with abundant blueschists
and eclogites preserving fragments of mantle, gabbros, thinned continental margin and …

Most of mélanges occurring in exhumed subduction complexes and orogenic belts are
commonly interpreted as the product of tectonic processes (eg, underplating and return flow) …

Paleogeographic reconstructions show that the Ligurian‐Piedmont Ocean (LPO) was a
relatively narrow oceanic basin but the actual amount of oceanic lithosphere generated and …

The Jurassic ophiolites in the Northern Apennines and the Western Alps represent fossil mid-
ocean ridge (MOR) oceanic lithosphere that formed in the Mesozoic Ligurian-Piedmont …

The overarching goal of the study was the development of a potentially dynamic rockfall
susceptibility model by including climate predictors. The work is based on previously defined …

The chemical and physical processes operating during subduction-zone metamorphism can
profoundly influence the cycling of elements on Earth. Deep-Earth carbon (C) cycling and …

New structural data have been collected in the high-pressure meta-ophiolites exposed in the
Lanzo Valleys (ie, the Lanzo Valleys Ophiolite, LVO) and tectonically overlying the …

This chapter provides an overview of the (mostly petrological) subduction archive of the
Alpine ocean. It discusses what the Alpine record tells us about subduction and/or …

We present a detailed description of the tectono-stratigraphic architecture of the eclogite-
facies Internal Piedmont Zone (IPZ) metaophiolite, exposed in the Lanzo Valleys (Western …
