The Variscan Belt of Western Europe 1
, 2023 International audienceThis chapter deals with the metamorphic and structural aspects of the principal events responsible for the early architecture of the French Variscan belt, before the tectono-metamorphic events coeval with its late- and post-orogenic

STRUCTURAL AND METAMORPHIC EVOLUTION OF VARISCAN BASEMENT ROCKS OF THE ALPS IN COMPARISON WITH OTHER PORTIONS OF THE EUROPEAN VARISCAN BELT [PDF]
, 2021 The tectonic evolution of the Southern Variscan belt is still poorly understood if compared with that of the central European Variscan belt. That is due to intense late-Variscan to Alpine re-working, in particular in the Alpine axial zone.

Late Carboniferous paleoelevation of the Variscan Belt of Western Europe [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021 International audienceWe present the first stable isotope paleoaltimetry estimates for the hinterland of the eroded Variscan Belt of Western Europe based on the hydrogen isotope ratios of muscovite from syntectonic leucogranites that have been emplaced ...

The collapse of the Variscan belt: a Variscan lateral extrusion thin-skinned structure in NW Iberia
International Geology Review, 2020 The Iberian Massif of the Variscan Belt is a big area of exposed Palaeozoic rocks holding an S-shaped regional bend. Profuse data and genetic models support the existence of the northern arch (Ibero-Armorican Orocline: IAO) created by Late-Variscan ...

Kinematics of the Forcarei Synform (NW Iberian Variscan belt)
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2011 The Forcarei Synform is a kilometric fold developed in the hinterland of the NW Iberian Variscan belt. A detailed analysis of the synform, based on quartz fabrics and kinematic markers, shows pervasively deformed rocks that have been continuously ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 169-190., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
