evolution of these regions employing kinematic,

mechanical and experimental modelling. In keeping


with the main trends of current research, this special
publication is devoted to the kinematic evolution
and structural styles of FAT belts. The topics of
the papers included in this volume range from
detailed structural analysis of individual structures
to large-scale regional studies of FAT belts and
from classical structural geology studies based on
data collected in the field to numerical modelling.
The papers included in this Special Publication are
a selection of the works on FAT belts presented in
various sessions at the ‘International Meeting of

rounded-hinge anticlines separated by wide, flat-bottom Spain) in June –July 2008 together with others on
synclines affecting Triassic, Cretaceous, Paleocene, the same topic matured over a similar period. This

C. López-Fernández, D. Pedreira and J. Poblet to
jointly celebrate the 400 years anniversary of the
foundation of the University of Oviedo and the
