Pyrenees Fold Thrust Belt
Forewords
Our work in the Pyrenees Fold and Thrust Belt has been continuous since the late 80's with main scientific results on 3D balanced and restored sections in the SE Pyrenees, timing of deformation, tectono-sedimentary relations, growth strata, salt tectonics, fluid flow, dating calcites in thrust planes, and recently on the Iberia-Europe plate boundary evolution (from 83.5 Ma to present).
Listed papers correspond to those published after year 2011.
