Constraining the kinematics of continental deformation by combining
structural geology, petrography and geochronology, mostly in large
shear zones, in order to understand how tectonics interacts with erosion and sedimentation to shape the continents, with a special emphasis on the importance of strain localization during continental deformation.
Research is based on a strong field component necessary to warrant adequate sampling and interpretation of quantitative analysis.
- Among the first to systematically combine microstructural, petrographical and geochronological methods to derive P-T-t-D paths in order to constrain the structural history of exhumed rocks [3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, B1, 11, 12, 19, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, B3, 31, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, B4, 53]. This approach once innovative has become a standard.
- Use of thermochronology to measure the timing and amount of exhumation in order to constrain the timing of deformation, including in some strike-slip cases [5, 7, 10, 11, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 29, B3, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 45, B4, 47, 49, 53]
- Careful structural analysis and U-Th/Pb dating of granitic dykes as well as metamorphic parageneses in order to quantify the amount and timing of ductile deformation [3, 4, 8, 22, 24, 25, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39, 52, 53].
- Development of a new method allowing measuring ductile deformation rates [43, B5].
- Use of the hydrographic network to quantify strike-slip motions including for long time intervals [14, 18, 49, 53].
- For faults that are still active, comparison between Long-term (several Ma) and shorter-term fault rates [18, 27, 33, 44, 46, 48, 50, 53, 55].
Main scientific achievements:
- Description and quantification of the kinematics of the Ailao Shan – Red River (ASRR) shear zone and Tertiary lateral extrusion of Indochina [2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, B1, 19, 20, 22, 30, 32].
- Establishment of a model for lithospheric continental strike-slip shear zones and associated metamorphism [4, 9, 15, 20, 22].
- First numerical model of continental deformation taking into account ductile strain heating [15].
- Quantification of Tertiary deformation of the eastern Tibetan margin [11, 17, 23, 44, 45, 48, 52, 54] and kinematics of the Xianshuihe fault [53, 55].
- Quantification of Tertiary deformation of the Indochina block [8, 13, 14].
- Mapping of SE Asia active faults and measure of the fault rate for some of them [7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 44, 46, 48, 53,55]
- Bringing new constrains on the timing and geometry of the Main Central Thrust and South Tibetan Detachment and proposition of an accretionary wedge model for the Oligo-Miocene evolution of the Himalaya [34, 35, 40, B4, 47].
- Deciphering the Tertiary kinematics of the Karakorum fault [24, 29, 31, 39, 41, 46].
- Deciphering the Tertiary geologic and morphologic evolution of western Tibet [37, 49, 50].
- Bringing new age constraints on the Nord-South normal faults of Southern Tibet [27, 35, 47].
- Constraining the Tertiary deformation history of the Mt Blanc external crystalline massif in the Alps [21, 26, 28].
- Proposing a kinematic model of bifurcation for motion on the Jiudicarian fault and Adige thrusts [1], and for the exhumation of the Bergell range [42] in the frame of the evolution of the Internal Alps.
