Organization of pre-Variscan basement areas at the north-Gondwanan margin [PDF]

, 2005
Pre-Variscan basement elements of Central Europe appear in polymetamorphic domains juxtaposed through Variscan and/or Alpine tectonic events. Consequently, nomenclatures and zonations applied to Variscan and Alpine structures, respectively, cannot be ...

The Saxo-Thuringian Basin of the Central European Variscides: Subsurface Characterization of a Lateral Foreland Basin Based on an Integrated Geophysical Data Set

Tektonika
The lateral extent of subsurface structures and lithologies of ancient orogenies are frequently obscured by younger units, which restricts our understanding of orogenic processes.

A Common Mantle Source for the Endogenous CO2 Degassed at the Eifel (Western Germany) and the Ardennes (Eastern Belgium) Regions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Tectonic CO2 Earth degassing is globally relevant and has probably controlled climate on a geological scale (Brune et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561‐017‐0003‐6). Endogenous CO2 outgassing from rifting areas remains poorly constrained, with most available data from the East African Rift.

Long‐Term Storage of Meteoric Water in the Variscan Basement: Stable Isotope Constraints (δD–δ18O)

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 116-123, April 2026.
ABSTRACT F‐Ba‐Pb‐Zn (±Ag) deposits near the unconformity between the Armorican and Aquitaine basins formed by mixing surface waters and brines with fluid ascending from the basement. To better constrain the source of this fluid and the conditions of mixing, we analyzed the hydrogen (δDwater) and oxygen (δ18Owater) isotopic composition of water trapped ...

Late Carboniferous Geomagnetic Field Events Recorded in Post‐Collisional Altenberg–Teplice Caldera, Variscan Belt

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Characteristic remanent magnetizations isolated from the late Variscan Altenberg–Teplice Caldera exhibit paleomagnetic directions, ranging from those consistent with the expected primary Late Carboniferous geomagnetic field to intermediate directions that significantly diverge from the dipole states.

Seismicity and Seismotectonics in the Cantabrian‐Pyrenean Zone (N Spain) Using a Dense Temporary Network of Broadband Seismic Stations

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes in intraplate regions are often scattered and difficult to associate with specific geological structures, requiring detailed surveys to identify active faults. Improving knowledge of local seismicity in these areas is essential for accurate seismic hazard assessment and for safe planning of economic activities that could affect ...

Unravelling the 800‐million‐year geological history of the Nevis and Mamore ranges, Fort William, Scotland

Geology Today, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 97-111, March/April 2026.
The Nevis and Mamore ranges near Fort William comprise some of the most popular and spectacular of all Scotland's mountains including the highest peak, Ben Nevis. The beauty of this mountainous region is the product of a long and complex geological evolution, spanning 800 million years of Earth's history.

Geology along the Bedretto tunnel: kinematic and geochronological constraints on the evolution of the Gotthard Massif (Central Alps)

Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2022
The unlined Bedretto tunnel crosses large parts of the pre-Triassic basement of the Gotthard massif (Central Alps), giving the possibility to study late-Variscan plutonic rocks (Rotondo granite) and their Caledonian (poly-)metamorphic host rocks (Tremola

Fracture‐Assisted Pressure Solution Creep of Granite: An Example From the Mont Blanc Massif, Western Alps

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Mont Blanc granite, as other deformed granites, has splitting properties attributed to two perpendicular planes: one formed by aligned fractures and the other by aligned micas in foliation planes. It is shown that this microstructure results from ductile deformation with stress‐driven dissolution of quartz and feldspar that passively ...
