The unexpected lack of Mio-Pliocene ages (a period thought to be prone to weathering, characterized by a subtropical climate in the Pyrenean post-collisional period) was interpreted as a reactivation of weathering profiles, which is fostered in continental areas subject to slow uplift. I also performed a geomorphological analysis of the dismantling of the Pyrenean PS, focused on Miocene to present-day fluvial incisions in the Western Pyrenees which demonstrated that successive incisions occurred between Langhian and Pliocene, most likely as a result of successive post-collisional uplift events (Uzel et al., 2020). The Pyrenean PS thus formed below the present-day elevation of its remnants. A broader-scale analysis of the repartition of uplift evidence in time and space at the Western European scale from Miocene onwards suggested a dominant influence of far-field effects from the active Eurasian and Iberian plates borders during the Miocene – present-day period.
