Mapping crustal thinning beneath the Eastern Pyrenees
The eastern termination of the Pyrenees is a complex region marked by two large tectonic events, the building of the Pyrenees during the Alpine orogeny and the Neogene extensional processes associated to the rotation of the Sardinia-Corsica block and ...

ABSTRACT Microbial mats and microbialites are common in modern and ancient saline lacustrine environments and are highly responsive to biological and environmental factors. As such, they represent important sources of high‐resolution environmental data across a wide range of geological time. Nonetheless, interpretation of fossil mats is non‐trivial due

The impact of English on local languages: The case of Catalan universities
Abstract This article deals with the somehow complex equilibrium of languages used in Catalonia, with a particular analysis of the role of English vis‐a‐vis the national language (Spanish) and the regional official language (Catalan). A discussion of the supremacy of standard languages over local ones in modern history, followed by an account of the ...

Abstract This study investigates the role of land‐atmosphere coupling in favorable conditions for locally triggered convection in central Europe. The region is in so‐called transitional zones located between wet and dry climates, which favor land‐atmosphere coupling in summer.

Apatite fission track and zircon (U-Th)/HeLow-temperature thermochronology studies have increased our knowledge of the orogenic processes along the Pyrenean-Cantabrian mountain belt by placing time constraints on the exhumation history of its rocks ...

International audienceRecent studies proposing pre-orogenic mantle exhumation models have helped renew the interest of the geosciences community in the Pyrenees, which should be now interpreted as a hyper-extended passive margin before the convergence ...

International audienceThe Atlas, Eastern Cordillera and Pyrenees are thick-skinned thrust-fold belts formed by tectonic inversion of rift basins in continental settings. A comparison of shortening between them shows a gradation from 20-25% in the central

The rotation of Spain: Palaeomagnetic evidence from the eastern Pyrenees
The results of a palaeomagnetic investigation on igneous and sedimentary Permo-Triassic rocks from the Spanish Pyrenees are presented and some conclusions are drawn. During demagnetization with a.c. magnetic fields and after correction for the dip, 41 andesitic samples revealed a characteristic magnetization with an average declination (D) of 169.5 ...
