Geoscience Frontiers, 2022 Mid-Devonian high-pressure (HP) and high-temperature (HT) metamorphism represents an enigmatic early phase in the evolution of the Variscan Orogeny. Within the Bohemian Massif this metamorphism is recorded mostly in allochthonous complexes with uncertain

Variscan structures and their control on latest to post-Variscan basin architecture: insights from the westernmost Bohemian Massif and southeastern Germany [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2022 The Bohemian Massif exposes structures and metamorphic rocks remnant from the Variscan orogeny in central Europe and is bordered by the Franconian Fault System (FFS) to the west.

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.

The enigmatic curvature of Central Iberia and its puzzling kinematics [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 The collision between Gondwana and Laurussia that formed the latest supercontinent, Pangea, occurred during Devonian to early Permian times and resulted in a large-scale orogeny that today transects Europe, northwest Africa, and eastern North America ...

The Volcanic History of the UNESCO Global Geopark Bohemian Paradise [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2023 Central Europe and the area of the UNESCO Global Geopark Bohemian Paradise have been affected by global tectonic events, especially during the last 500 million years. Volcanic phenomena are the most striking traces today of such past tectonic events.

Geology of the Montigiu Nieddu metamorphic basement, NE Sardinia (Italy)
Journal of Maps, 2020 A geological map at 1:10,000 scale is presented that shows the distribution of the metamorphic rock units in the area of Montigiu (Mt.) Nieddu (NE Sardinia). These units belong to the High-Grade Metamorphic Complex in the Inner Zone of the Variscan chain
