Alpine orogeny

Kinematics and strain distribution in an orogen-scale shear zone. Insights from structural analyses and magnetic fabrics in the Gavarnie thrust, Pyrenees

This work aims to characterize the Gavarnie thrust, one of the large-scale thrusts that define the Alpine structure of the west-central sector of the Pyrenees. A detailed comparison of structural analysis and magnetic fabrics is carried out for the Paleozoic phyllonites of the Gavarnie thrust, in order to decipher strain distribution and transport direction.
