Meeting "Thrust Belts and Foreland Basins"
14-16 December 2005
IFP/Rueil-Malmaison
Thrust belts and foreland basins record both the main phases of orogenic evolution and the coupled influence of deep (flexure, plate rheology and kinematics) and surficial (erosion, sedimentation) geological processes, at different time scales. They constitute important targets for scientists interested in both fundamental and applied (fluids, hydrocarbons) aspects. The meeting, hold in December, 2005, jointly sponsored by the Société Géologique de France and the Sociedad Geologica de España offered the opportunity for geologists from various domains of our community to discuss and understand new data sets on high resolution seismicity, high-frequency sequential stratigraphy, geochemistry and provenance studies, geodesy and vertical motions. These modern aspects were combined with (more) classical field studies and analogue/numerical modelling in order to provide a timely comprehensive overview of processes governing the evolution of orogenic belts and adjacent forelands.
