Big data seismology

SJ Arrowsmith, DT Trugman, J MacCarthy… - Reviews of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The discipline of seismology is based on observations of ground motion that are inherently
undersampled in space and time. Our basic understanding of earthquake processes and our …

The deep structure of the Alps based on the CIFALPS seismic experiment: A synthesis

MG Malusà, S Guillot, L Zhao, A Paul… - Geochemistry …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …

Placing limits to shortening evolution in the Pyrenees: Role of margin architecture and implications for the Iberia/Europe convergence

F Mouthereau, PY Filleaudeau, A Vacherat, R Pik… - …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

The deep roots of the western Pyrenees revealed by full waveform inversion of teleseismic P waves

Y Wang, S Chevrot, V Monteiller, D Komatitsch… - …, 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Imaging the architecture of mountain roots is required to understand the support of
topography and for kinematic reconstructions at convergent plate boundaries, but is still …

Continuity of the Alpine slab unraveled by high‐resolution P wave tomography

L Zhao, A Paul, MG Malusà, X Xu… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The question of lateral and/or vertical continuity of subducted slabs in active orogens is a hot
topic partly due to poorly resolved tomographic data. The complex slab structure beneath …

High-temperature metamorphism during extreme thinning of the continental crust: a reappraisal of the North Pyrenean passive paleomargin

C Clerc, A Lahfid, P Monié, Y Lagabrielle, C Chopin… - Solid Earth, 2015 - se.copernicus.org
An increasing number of field examples in mountain belts show that the formation of passive
margins during extreme continent thinning may occur under conditions of high to very high …

Denudation history and palaeogeography of the Pyrenees and their peripheral basins: an 84-million-year geomorphological perspective

M Calvet, Y Gunnell, B Laumonier - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of the Pyrenees since~ 84 Ma and is
uniquely focused on analysing jointly and comparatively its peripheral pro-foreland, retro …

The non-cylindrical crustal architecture of the Pyrenees

S Chevrot, M Sylvander, J Diaz, R Martin… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
We exploit the data from five seismic transects deployed across the Pyrenees to characterize
the deep architecture of this collisional orogen. We map the main seismic interfaces beneath …

Thermal imprint of rift-related processes in orogens as recorded in the Pyrenees

A Vacherat, F Mouthereau, R Pik, M Bernet… - Earth and Planetary …, 2014 - Elsevier
The extent to which heat recorded in orogens reflects thermal conditions inherited from
previous rift-related processes is still debated and poorly documented. As a case study, we …

Insights into the crustal‐scale dynamics of a doubly vergent orogen from a quantitative analysis of its forelands: A case study of the Eastern Pyrenees

AR Grool, M Ford, J Vergés, RS Huismans… - …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In natural doubly vergent orogens, the relationship between the pro‐and retro‐wedges is, as
yet, poorly constrained. We present a detailed tectonostratigraphic study of the retro‐wedge …
