Innehållsförteckning

Orogenic processes in the Alpine collision zone.- Foreland and Hinterland basins: what controls their evolution?.- Provenance of the Bosnian Flysch.- Late jurassic tectonics and sedimentation: breccias in the Unken syncline, central Northern Calcareous Alps.- The Pfitsch-Mörchner Basin, an example of the post-Variscan sedimentary evolution in the Tauern Window (Eastern Alps).- Multistage shortening in the Dauphiné zone (French Alps): the record of Alpine collision and implications for pre-Alpine restoration.- The metamorphic evolution of migmatites from the Ötztal Complex (Tyrol, Austria) and constraints on the timing of the pre-Variscan high-T event in the Eastern Alps.- From subduction to collision: thermal overprint of HP/LT meta-sediments in the north-eastern Lepontine Dome (Swiss Alps) and consequences regarding the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Alpine orogenic wedge.- Tertiary tectono-metamorphic evolution of the European margin during Alpine collison: example of the Leventina Nappe (Central Alps, Switzerland).- Lu-Hf garnet geochronology of eclogites from the Balma Unit (Pennine Alps): implications for Alpine paleotectonic reconstructions.- Tracing the exhumation of the Eclogite Zone (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps) by 40Ar/39Ar dating of white mica in eclogites.- Mapping of the post-collisional cooling history of the Eastern Alps.- Apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He thermochronology of the Rochovce granite (Slovakia) — implications for the thermal evolution of the Western Carpathian-Pannonian region.- Fault slip analysis in the Koralm Massif (Eastern Alps) and consequences for the final uplift of “cold spots” in Miocene times.- Miocene emplacement and rapid cooling of the Pohorije pluton at the Alpine-Pannonian-Dinaridic junction, Slovenia.- A map-view restoration of the Alpine-Carpathian-Dinaridic system for the Early Miocene.- The Rila-Pastra Normal Fault and multi-stage extensional unroofing in the Rila Mountains (SW Bulgaria).
