Investigating heat transfer through the Lepontine Dome (Central European Alps) with a combined petrological, structural, dating and modelling approach

Abstract: <p>Heat transfer during and after the emplacement of tectonic nappes within an orogeny is controlled by three fundamental processes: advection, diffusion and production of heat. Production is mainly caused by radioactive decay and shear heating. The relative importance and timing of these processes is often contentious. For example, in the Lepontine Dome of the Central European Alps the timing of the thermal evolution and the relative importance of advection, diffusion and shear heating is disput… Show more
