Tectonic classification of Cenozoic Iberian foreland basins

G De Vicente, S Cloetingh, JD Van Wees, PP Cunha - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier

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 …

Evolution of the Alpine orogenic belts in the Western Mediterranean region as resolved by the kinematics of the Europe-Africa diffuse plate boundary

P Angrand, F Mouthereau - BSGF-Earth Sciences …, 2021 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Abstract The West European collisional Alpine belts are the result of the inversion, initiated

The late jurassic–early cretaceous rifting

J Martín-Chivelet, J López-Gómez, R Aguado… - The Geology of Iberia: A …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract During the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, Iberia experienced extensional and
