Dear colleagues,
we would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the following session "New advances on the geology of the central-western Mediterranean area" at EGU General Assembly, that will take place on 23-28 April 2023 (Vienna and online).
 
Deadline for abstract submission: 10 January 2023
 
Evidence of the complex evolution related to two superposed orogens is recorded in the Mediterranean area. Evidence of the Variscan tectono-metamorphic phenomena is recorded in the Paleozoic successions exposed in the Betic-Rifian Arc, Algeria, Calabria-Peloritani Arc, Apennines, Corsica-Sardinia block, and the Alps. Evidence of the Alpine tectono-metamorphic evolution, superposed on part of these ancient basements, is widespread in the Mesozoic to Cenozoic stratigraphic record preserved in the Mediterranean Alpine chain with spectacular syn- to late-orogenic compressional and extensional deformation.
The Alpine syn- to late(post) orogenic tectono-sedimentary evolution recorded by the basins along the Alpine belt testify to the Tertiary to Quaternary evolution of this complex framework of the Mediterranean area. The interplay between tectonics and sedimentation controls the synorogenic sedimentation in the Foreland Basin System, including back bulge, fore bulge, foredeep, and wedge-top basins. Sedimentary facies analysis and paleoenvironment evolution of depositional systems, together with sediment provenance studies and paleogeographic/paleoecologic/paleoclimatic reconstructions, provide further constraints to trace the evolution of these sedimentary basins.
Accordingly, this session welcomes research contributions on earth sciences (regional geology; stratigraphy; palaeontology; sedimentology; structural geology; tectonics; mineralogy; petrography; sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic petrology; geochemistry; geochronology) related to the geological evolution of the central- western Mediterranean area.
