Non-coaxial deformation of foreland basement involved in a fold-and-thrust belt: a strain partitioning approach to the Eastern Variscan orogen [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The general SW–NE course of the Variscan orogen in Europe is abruptly bent to the N–S course at its eastern margin, where an oblique convergence occurred.

Geochemical dataset of high-pressure acid migmatites from the Cabo Ortegal Complex (NW Spain) [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2022 This brief note presents geochemical data from rock samples from the Cabo Ortegal Complex (NW Spain). The samples belong to acid lithologies within the mainly basic to intermediate granulite unit that have been poorly investigated so far.

Zircon age of vaugnerite intrusives from the Central and Southern Vosges crystalline massif (E France): contribution to the geodynamics of the European Variscan belt [PDF]
BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020 To provide a better picture of the active geodynamics along the Variscan suture zones during the late collisional stage (particularly regarding the evolution of the orogenic system towards HT conditions), we focused here on vaugnerites, which consist of ...

Tectonics, 2008 International audienceThe Paleozoic French Variscan Belt in Massif Central and Massif Armoricain is a collision belt that provides a good example of a suture zone where ophiolites are rare, and the frontal (i.e., the magmatic arc) part of the upper plate

Together but separate: decoupled Variscan (late Carboniferous) and Alpine (Late Cretaceous–Paleogene) inversion tectonics in NW Poland [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2022 In Europe, formation of the Palaeozoic Variscan orogenic belt, and the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Alpine–Carpathian orogenic belt led to a widespread inversion events within forelands of both orogenic domains.

Radial anisotropy and S-wave velocity depict the internal to external zone transition within the Variscan orogen (NW Iberia) [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2022 The cross-correlation of ambient noise records registered by seismic networks has proven to be a valuable tool to obtain new insights into the crustal structure at different scales.

Geosciences, 2022 The existence of pieces of the Variscan belt in the Alpine basement has been acknowledged for a long time but the correlation of these massifs to the litho-tectonic domains established in Western Europa outside the Alpine chain is still disputed.
