Cover Story: View of river networks in the High Tinée Valley (SW French Alps). In the lower picture, rivers cut deeply through the Mesozoic marl sedimentary cover and merge together at the contact with the crystalline basement. This study compares geochronological approaches to tectonic deformation and uplift, combined with dating river incisions, attempting to link the long-standing tectonic evolution of a mountain belt to its erosive signal. The comparison between the various geochronological approaches provides insights into the geomorphology of the chain resulting from ongoing slow strike-slip tectonics related to the rotation of Apulia.
