The Paleogene records the most prominent global climate change of Cenozoic Era with a shift from greenhouse to an icehouse world. Several transient hyperthermal events punctuated this long-term evolution. pronounced and best known these is Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM-56 Ma). This event associated warming, worldwide perturbation carbon cycle, significant biotic changes. PETM primarily recorded by sharp negative isotope excursion (NCIE) in both carbonates organic matter sedimentary...
Abstract Extreme hydroclimates impact sediment fluxes from mountainous catchments to the oceans. Given modern global warming, a challenge is assess sensitivity of erosion in extreme climate perturbations. Here, we reconstruct paleo‐sedimentary across an abrupt Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ∼56 Ma), using sedimentary archives and numerical modeling. In Tremp Basin (Southern Pyrenees, Spain), our results demonstrate that depositional volumetric rates siliciclastic sediments increased...
Abstract The late‐stage evolution of the southern central P yrenees has been well documented but controversies remain concerning potential N eogene acceleration exhumation rates and influence tectonic and/or climatic processes. A popular model suggests that their foreland were buried below a thick succession conglomerates during O ligocene, when basin was endorheic. However, both amount post‐orogenic fill timing re‐excavation controversial. We address this question by revisiting extensive...
The central Pyrenees experienced an episode of rapid exhumation in Late Eocene–Early Oligocene times. Erosional products shed from the range during this time were deposited large palaeovalleys southern flank Axial Zone, leading to significant sediment accumulation. A recent numerical modelling study post-orogenic and relief history Zone allowed us constrain valley-filling terms timing thickness conglomeratic deposits. This paper aims test these results for fold-and-thrust belt using apatite...

The Cantabrian Mountains extend along the Atlantic coast of northern Spain and are known to have experienced an Alpine phase deformation, reactivating well-expressed Variscan structures. They form westward continuation Pyrenean range were similarly uplifted consequently convergence between Iberian European plates. Nevertheless, due scarcity syntectonic sediments structural markers in a large outcrop basement, little is about precise timing amount exhumation Mountains. We present new...
The architecture and tectono-magmatic evolution of the lithosphere Europe are result a succession subduction, rifting inputs from plumes that have modified lithospheric mantle since Neoproterozoic (750–500 Ma). These events gave birth to contrasting crust-mantle lithosphere-asthenosphere mechanical coupling between strong, viscous, thick, cold, depleted Archean West African Craton East European Craton, weak, low thin, hot less Phanerozoic Central Europe. differences were long-lived explain...
Numerous studies in the Central Pyrenees have provided evidence for a rapid phase of exhumation this mountain belt during Late Eocene (37–30 Ma). Simultaneously, closure Ebro foreland basin allowed accumulation sediments at southern Piedmont, which partially covered fold‐and‐thrust from (e.g., when it was still actively deforming) to Miocene times. We aim here understanding consequences such syntectonic sedimentation on Southern Pyrenean by using 2‐D numerical model that reproduces...
We discuss the drivers of Pyrenean post-orogenic exhumation, including drainage migration, flexural rebound and tectonic reactivation.We provide new low-temperature thermochronological data inverse thermal modeling from both hinterland foreland western Pyrenees. Our ages range 6.6 to 61.4 Ma reveal a Late Miocene exhumation phase in several massifs. The contrasting histories define domain focused Pyrenees that coincides with present-day extensional tectonics region north Axial Zone. Based on...
Sedimentary systems are affected by environmental conditions. Given current global warming, accurate predictions of the sensitivity Earth surface processes to climate urgently needed. To do so, geological record provides various events from which we must read narratives how have adjusted.Here, take example Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~ 56 Ma), Cenozoic's most rapid and intense warming. This event was caused a massive release carbon into atmosphere, led temperature rises...
Abstract Large thermochronologic data sets enable orogen-scale investigations into spatio-temporal patterns of erosion and deformation. We present the results a thermo-kinematic modeling study that examines large-scale controls on variations in exhumation as recorded by multiple low-temperature thermochronometers Pyrenees mountains (France/Spain). Using 264 compiled cooling ages spanning ∼200 km orogen, recent model for its topographic evolution, code Pecube, we evaluated two models Axial...
Abstract Sediment accumulation rates in foreland basins result from a complex interplay between surface and deep processes both the exhumed relief domain sedimentary basins. The growth decay of mountain belt during orogenic post‐orogenic phases have been largely studied, thanks to thermochronological structural studies. response preserved sediments surrounding is well known terms filling patterns architecture, but much less better quantified. Here, we performed measurement siliciclastic...
Mainland France is part of a plate interior with strong structural heritage, undergoing low rate deformation, where destructive earthquakes can nevertheless occur. In this paper, we emphasize that the knowledge active faults still largely fragmentary, and significant efforts are needed to generate robust data, in particular on numerous faults, lack any study. This aim “Failles ACTives France” (FACT) axis launched framework Transverse Seismicity Action (ATS) Resif-Epos consortium. We present...
During orogenesis, large-scale thrusts as orogenic fronts can act conduits and/or barriers for fluid flow. Unravelling the timing and modes of tectonic activation faults is crucial to understanding relationship between flow deformation. The North Pyrenean Frontal Thrust (NPFT) corresponds a major basement-involved thrust responsible northward overthrust pre-orogenic sediments on top Aquitaine Foreland Basin. This study questions this thrust, its geometry, nature last fluids, which circulated...
Abstract Sediment routing systems of cratonic domains have not been studied extensively because their relief and erosion rates are very low, although vast dimensions allowed them to contribute a significant proportion the sediments exported global ocean. To gain further insights into behavior sediment at geological time scales, we investigated Guiana Shield its Atlantic rifted margin (i.e., Guiana-Suriname Foz do Amazonas Basins, northern South America) over Meso-Cenozoic with an emphasis on...
Climate is a primary driver of sedimentary processes from source to sink. A key challenge for stratigraphic studies in deep time constrain how perturbations hydroclimate the past have affected surface and source-to-sink dynamics.

Abstract We use a Landscape Evolution Model including flexural isostasy to investigate the influence of inherited foreland relief on stratigraphic evolution retro‐foreland domain during mountain building. show models with four different types initial in domain: at sea level, elevated (+300 m), 1 km‐deep and 100 km‐wide basin associated either forebulge level or +300 m. During first 10 Myr simulation, landscape is significantly altered by its bathymetry/topography. The impact then smoothed...
