This book covers a multitude of Alpine-type working areas and processes active in collisional mountain building in the form of 16 selected very up-to-date review and research articles covering the Alps, Carpathians and Dinarides. These data were presented at the 8th workshop on Alpine Geological Stu...

Table of Contents:

• The papes are grouped into the following sub-topics: Sedimentary processes during orogeny
• Formation of the arc of the Western Alps
• Metamorphic evolution of the Alps
• Timing of orogeny based on radiometric methods and manifold geodynamical consequences
• Thermochronological data on exhumation processes
• Orogen-parallel extension in the Eastern Alps and formation of the Pannonian basin
• Tectonic evolution of the Carpathians, Dinarides and Balkanides.
