The composition and stratigraphic relations of clastic strata in diverse sedimentary basins of
the circum-Mediterranean region reflect a complete record of provenance relations since …

The widely debated late Oligocene-middle Miocene Numidian Fm (NF) consists of
supermature quartzose sediments deposited in the Maghrebian Flysch Basin (MFB) …

The Rif Belt belongs to a much larger orogen, ie the Betic-Rif-Tell orogen, which itself is part
of the still larger Mediterranean Alpine belts (Fig. 5.1; see also Chap. 1.1, Fig. 1.2). The Rif …

In mountainous areas, mass movements are among the most dangerous natural hazards.
Infrastructure is a crucial component and is thought of as human wealth. This infrastructure is …

A model of the Cenozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution of the External Rif Chain (Morocco)
is provided by means of the study of the mineralogical and geochemical composition of …

Tectonic processes in the Gibraltar region are associated with Africa-Iberia convergence
and the formation of the Betic-Rif orogenic system. The Late Miocene shortening recorded in …

We proposed a reconstruction of one of the tightest orogenic arcs on Earth: the Gibraltar Arc
System. This reconstruction, which includes onshore and offshore data, is completed for …

This paper provides an understanding of the sedimentary-tectonic evolution of the Cenozoic
strata of the El Habt and Ouezzane Tectonic Units (Intrarif, External Rif) in Morocco. New …

Detrital zircon U-Pb age distributions in Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks from the External Rif
and Maghrebian Flysch Complex (including the so-called Mauretanian internal flysch units) …

This work concerns the northernmost limit of the West African Craton (WAC) and Variscan
WAC-related terranes of NW Africa. Based on newly obtained radiometric age of an oceanic …
