The onset mechanism of continental subduction, including how the continental plate overwhelms the buoyancy resistance and how it is exhumed, however remains elusive. Using data of a new temporary seismic array deployed in the French-Italian Alps, we present here new evidence that in the Western Alps the European plate subducted deeply beneath the Adria plate. This study uses teleseismic P receiver functions and shear-wave splitting measurements from SKS phases. In the depth-migrated receiver function cross-section (common conversion point technique), the positive P to S (Ps) conversions (corresponding to velocity increase with depth) on the Moho interface can be continuously traced beneath the European plate. This Moho conversion fluctuates in depth, amplitude and dipping angle. Be...

A seismostatigraphic approach led to subdivide a 150m-thick pile (in the center of the basin) into five units (Van Rensbergen et al, 1997; Beck et al., 2001). The unit 2 (one of the basal

The chronology has been done using AMS C14 on bulk sediment; since the water-sediment interface was not recovered, the age-depth model was not constrained for the last centuries. In order to study the sediment fluxes over the last millenium linked with climate
