项目摘要

Low-angle tectonic contacts, both thrusts and normal faults, play a key role in the tectonics of collisional mountain belts and in the exhumation of high-pressure metamorphic rocks. Results of previous work suggest that a major low-angle tectonic contact in the western Alps (Combin Fault), where ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks are overlain by lower-pressure ones, represents an extraction fault, formed by the coalescence of faults with opposite shear sense when the intervening volume of rocks was extracted in a downward direction. The Combin Fault is overlain by one of the most prominent thrust faults of the Alps, the Dent Blanche Basal Thrust (DBBT), along which continental basement rocks where emplaced on oceanic rocks. We hypothesize that the formation of this out-of-sequence thrust is closely related to the extraction process.The role of the DBBT in the Alpine orogeny is not clear due to conflicting observations and interpretations regarding its kinematics and the paleogeographical position of the Dent Blanche nappe. We will study it by a combination of structural field work, microstructural and textural analyses, as well as petrological and geochronological methods. This research will further the understanding of the tectonic processes that allow high-pressure rocks to be exhumed and that control the formation and reactivation of large-scale shear zones during continental collision. In combination with petrological and geochronological data we will be able to deduce a comprehensive view of the tectonic processes during early continent collision.

低角度构造接触，包括逆冲断层和正断层，在碰撞山带的构造和高压变质岩的折返中发挥着关键作用。先前的研究结果表明，阿尔卑斯山西部的一个主要低角度构造接触面（组合断层），其中超高压变质岩被低压变质岩覆盖，代表了一个抽出断层，由具有相反剪切力的断层合并而成。当中间的岩石体积被向下提取时，会产生感应。康宾断层被阿尔卑斯山最显着的逆冲断层之一——登特布兰奇基底逆冲断层（DBBT）所覆盖，沿着该断层，大陆基底岩石侵占了海洋岩石。我们假设这种无序逆冲的形成与提取过程密切相关。由于对其运动学和 Dent Blanche 古地理位置的观察和解释相互矛盾，DBBT 在阿尔卑斯造山运动中的作用尚不清楚。纳佩。我们将结合构造现场工作、微观结构和结构分析以及岩石学和地质年代学方法来研究它。这项研究将进一步了解构造过程，这些构造过程允许高压岩石被挖掘出来，并控制大陆碰撞期间大规模剪切带的形成和重新激活。结合岩石学和地质年代学数据，我们将能够全面推断出早期大陆碰撞期间的构造过程。
