CONVERGENT MARGINS

The main one was about research and renewal of our understanding of convergent margins, taking into account the impact of the deep Lithosphere, asthenosphere evolution on the history of architecture, deformation, thermal evolutions, including fluid/rocks interactions, surface dynamics, sedimentary routing system and deposits. This approach rooted the development of the three projects OROGEN, Source To Sink and Fluids... It is a 5 years research program partnership between the CNRS, National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU), the BRGM (French geological survey) and TOTAL S.E. R&D department
