The objective of my research is to understand the tectonic structure and the kinematics of the western termination of the Morcles Nappe. The study area covers the Emosson – Mont Ruan – Dents du Midi sector. Based on original field work I will investigate the geometry of the structures and document the associated strain partitioning and kinematic indicators. This work is part of a larger project on the Morcles Nappes west SW of the Rhône rive in Switzerland and France.
