Implication

Analogue modelling reveals that inherited crustal structures govern deformation and uplift patterns in the eastern Southern Alps, highlighting pre-existing controls on basin inversion.

Key Points

Inherited crustal heterogeneities control deformation geometries and drive continuous surface uplift during Miocene basin inversion across the European eastern Southern Alps.
Within the last 15 Ma, continuous exhumation documented by low-temperature thermochronology aligns with models showing fewer thrust sheets in stronger upper crustal domains.
Multi-scale physical analogue experiments tested prescribed platform-basin geometries and lithospheric strength variations to track strain localization across transfer zones.
Highlights how deep pre-existing fault architectures modulate continental indentation and govern shortening patterns across the evolving fold-and-thrust belt.
