Cooling evolution that results from the inversion of rifted margin (A), leading to the formation of a doubly-vergent orogen (B) (modified after Ternois et al., 2021). Cooling paths are shown for particles labelled 1, 2 and 3 located on the lower plate during building of the orogenic wedge. Time-temperature paths shown in (C) have been constrained based on thermo-mechanical modelling of rift inversion (Jourdon et al., 2019). Cooling evolution reflects transition from initial accretion of the hot distal margin to accretion of cooler proximal/neck zone and increased coupling with erosion.
