La Crise messinienne et sa cicatrisation se sont déroulées en plusieurs étapes depuisl'incision des cours d'eau jusqu'au remblaiement sédimentaire rapide et progradant decanyons en Gilbert deltas. G. Clauzon (1996) a pu définir quatre niveaux-repèresmorphologiques et stratigraphiques qu'il proposait d'utiliser pour quantifier les...

Recent stress fields at the northern margin of the Black Sea have been characterized on the base of 32 mechanisms of the earthquakes foci. Orientations of compression axes in the foci give evidence that present-day tectonic process takes place under conditions of compression and transpression. For 13 mechanisms located within the band between...

Highlighting how crustal shortening is accommodated in space and time in fold-thrust belts is a major issue for understanding the long-term tectonic evolution of orogenic systems. In this study, we combine surface and subsurface data to build a 150 km-long sequentially restored balanced cross-section across two superimposed foreland fold-thrust...

The southern part of the French Alps is studied for years in mapping and understanding of large-scale gravitational deformations. The identification and the knowledge of large-scale slope deformation (deep-seated gravitational slope deformation or DSGSD and deep-seated landslide or DSL) in the previous work of Jomard (2006) and Zerathe (2013)...
