This study reviews and synthesizes the present knowledge on the Sesia–Dent Blanche nappes, the highest tectonic elements in the Western Alps (Switzerland and Italy), which …
The final assembly of the Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna was marked by the collision of Laurentia and Australia at 1.60 Ga, which is recorded in the Georgetown Inlier of NE …
Convergent plate margins typically experience a transition from subduction to collision dynamics as massive continental blocks enter the subduction channel. Studies of high …
A numerical modelling approach is used to validate the physical and geological reliability of the ablative subduction mechanism during Alpine convergence in order to interpret the …

Multiscale structural analysis and petrological modelling were used to establish the pressure‐ peak mineral assemblages and pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions recorded in the …
Due to the ongoing development of new technologies, many instruments are available to assist geological investigations at different scales. These techniques, including 3D outcrop …
