The discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) minerals in orogenic belts has revolutionized our understanding subduction and the return flow previously deeply subducted material to Earth's surface as part cycling interaction crustal mantle systems. One class UHP is found inclusions peridotite-hosted podiform-chromite systems, within Phanerozoic ophiolites ophiolitic mélanges. Such have opened a win...

Abstract. In Europe, formation of the Palaeozoic Variscan orogenic belt, and Mesozoic–Cenozoic Alpine–Carpathian belt led to a widespread inversion events within forelands both domains. We used legacy 2-D seismic data together with newly acquired 3-D that, for first time, precisely imaged sub-Zechstein (i.e. sub-evaporitic) upper successions in NW Poland order develop quantitative, balanced mod...
