In this paper we review and discuss, in a synthetic historical way, the main results obtained on Alpine metamorphism in the western Alps. First, we describe the finite metamorphic architecture of the western Alps and discuss its relationships with subduction and collision processes. Second, we portray the progressive metamorphic evolution...

We present and discuss the Late Cretaceous evolution of the Southeast France Basin (SEFB) owing to the Pyrenean and Alpine belts. The available geological data (isopachs maps, boreholes and field data) were integrated in 3D GeoModeller software to build a 3D model of the geometry of the Cenomanian to Campanian sedimentary series of the Late...

The fate of the lower plate during continental collision can be examined in deeply eroded orogens such as the late Paleozoic Variscan belt in continental Europe. In particular, the Bohemian Massif at its eastern extremity preserves well the evolution of an Andean-type orogen involved in continental collision. This process included relamination...

The southern part of Madagascar consists of a granulitic metamorphic belt with a complex Proterozoic shear zone network. Aeromagnetic maps reveal sharp magnetic spatial gradients, especially across shear zones. All shear zones are associated with high magnetic values, except one, the Beraketa shear zone. Based upon relationships between rock...

The geological inventory of the Variscan Bohemian Massif can be summarized as a result of Early Devonian subduction of the Saxothuringian ocean of unknown size underneath the eastern continental plate represented by the present-day Teplá-Barrandian and Moldanubian domains. During mid-Devonian, the Saxothuringian passive margin sequences and...
