DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2018.06.021
Abstract: Abstract Offshore Ireland, the North Atlantic opening is generally interpreted as successive, 10-to-15-Myr-long, rifting events during the Mesozoic. However, their interaction is poorly documented in terms of structural inheritance and fault reactivation. From extensive seismic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2021.106257
Abstract: Abstract Field relationships, textures, compositions and U-(Th)-Pb dates for minerals from the niobium‑yttrium‑fluorine (NYF-) Stetind Pegmatite in the 1.798 Ga Tysfjord granitic gneiss in Norway are described. The pegmatite has a sub-horizontal orientation and anisotropic mineral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0016756821000339
Abstract: In the Central Iberian Zone, the Cadomian orogenic collapse is represented by chaotic megabreccias, olistostromes and mélange deposits reflecting a drastic change from slope-related deposits, fed by denudation of the Cadomian arc, to offshore-dominant settings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023tc008207
Abstract: The break‐up and drift of continents is governed by the reactivation of structures in the lithosphere that occur in preference to formation of new structures during rifting. Numerical analyses indicate that mantle heterogeneities should be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024tc008773
Abstract: Using new morpho‐structural observations from field studies and digital terrain analysis, combined with a reinterpretation of literature data, we reassess the role of late‐orogenic collapse in shaping the present‐day morphology of the Peloponnese (Greece). Located… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2024.2361273
Abstract: ABSTRACT Understanding orogenic collapse is key to comprehending the evolution of continental collision orogens. The Dabie orogen is a collapsed continental collision orogen that provides an ideal window for revealing orogenic collapse. Here, we conduct… read more here.
