Recent papers authored or co-authored by Michel Séranne illustrate a focus on regional tectonics and sedimentary geology in southern France and related areas. These include:

  • The transition from Pyrenean shortening to Gulf of Lion rifting in Languedoc (South France) - A tectonic-sedimentation analysis (2021) published in Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France
  • The Moroccan High Atlas phosphate-rich sediments: Unraveling the accumulation and differentiation processes (2020) in Sedimentary Geology
  • LA-ICP-MS dating of detrital zircon grains from the Cretaceous allochthonous bauxites of Languedoc (south of France): Provenance and geodynamic consequences (2020) in Basin Research
  • Tectonic and climate control on allochthonous bauxite deposition. Example from the mid-Cretaceous Villeveyrac basin, southern France (2020) in Sedimentary Geology
  • Structural style of the Languedoc Pyrenean thrust belt in relation with the inherited Mesozoic structures and with the rifting of the Gulf of Lion margin, southern France (2021) in Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France

Michel Séranne collaborates frequently with several co-authors, including Radouan El Bamiki, Fleurice Parat, Jérémie Aubineau, Jean-Louis Bodinier, and Grégory Ballas. These collaborations have contributed to the depth and diversity of their research outputs.
