Revisiting orogens during the OROGEN project: tectonic maturity, a key element to understand orogenic variability

By demonstrating that extensional inheritance plays a decisive role in the formation of orogens, recent studies have questioned the ability of a unique, complete Wilson cycle model to explain the diversity of collisional orogens. For 5 years, the OROGEN Research Project had therefore the ambition to...
