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

Structural evolution of orogenic wedges: Interplay between erosion and weak décollements
Orogenic wedges commonly display an inner wedge, where crystalline units have been
exhumed, and an outer wedge formed by imbricated sedimentary units detached from the …

Reviewing subduction initiation and the origin of plate tectonics: What do we learn from present‐day Earth?
The theory of plate tectonics came together in the 1960s, achieving wide acceptance after
1968. Since then it has been the most successful framework for investigations of Earth's …
