The Alps are the result of the opening of the Alpine Tethyan oceanic domain during the Mesozoic and its closure during the Cenozoic. The Digne Nappe constitutes the thrust front of the southwestern branch of the Alpine arc, emplaced during Mio-Pliocene times, and uses Upper Triassic (Keuper) evaporites as a décollement level. These evaporites are also known to be involved in salt tectonics since the early Mesozoic in several locations of the Southeast of France. The aim of this work is to identify and characterise the role of the evaporites in the evolution of the Southwestern French Alps, where the evaporites were deposited prior to the Tethyan Liassic rifting which marked the beginning of the Alpine cycle. The study area is located betwee...
