It first presents the overall structure of the mountain range, then examines the development of the northern and southern Pyrenean foreland basins through their sedimentary records, allowing the successive phases of orogenic construction to be identified. Special attention is given to the dismantling of the eastern crustal root in relation to the Oligocene–Miocene opening of the Gulf of Lion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvolution of the Pyrenees during the Variscan and Alpine Cycles 2\u003c\/i\u003e then highlights the contributions of several innovative approaches used to better constrain the transition from compressive to post-compressive tectonics. These include studies of relief flattening and incision processes; U–Pb geochronology applied to fault-related carbonates; cosmogenic nuclide dating combined with geomorphological analyses; and investigations into the thermal evolution of the Pyrenean rift basins. The book also documents Quaternary glacial fluctuations that affected the Pyrenees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, it presents a geological map of the northern slope of the mountain range at a scale of 1:250,000 and draws attention to the uniqueness of Pyrenean blue corundum.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicolas Saspiturry\u003c\/b\u003e is a teacher–researcher specializing in the tectonic– sedimentary and thermal evolution of sedimentary basins.
