Mapping active faults based on large-scale landscape analysis might suffer from large uncertainties because rocks on both sides of an ancient fault trace may respond differently to erosion, producing a contrasting relief which can be misleadingly interpreted as due to active faulting. Identifying the bedrock response to erosion is thus of...

The kinematics of the collision in Western Alps are investigated through five balanced cross sections of the whole external domain from the Oisans to the Mont Blanc massif. These cross sections were built using published data for the Jura and subalpine fold-and-thrust belts and new structural and field analysis for the External Crystalline...

A structural and microtectonic analysis performed in the Liuchiu Hsu island demonstrates that its Plio-Pleistocene tectonic evolution was dominated by alternating NW–SE shortening and local radial extension caused by mud diapirism. Previous models based on seismic data considering both the formation of the Liuchiu Hsu island and the fold...

Le but de cette contribution est de documenter et comprendre à la foisla cinématique des déformations collisionelles à l'échelle des Alpes externesoccidentales et le rôle de la structure de la marge européenne danscette structuration orogénique.Dans un premier temps, nous présentons des données nouvelles, structurales,microstructurales et...
