		In this project we seek to unravel the metamorphic and structural history of the basement nappes of the South Carpathians, a segment of a paleo-Himalayan orogen related to the closure of the paleo-Tethys.
		Here is a summary of our preliminary results for 2001: The south Carpathian orogen is an Alpine fold-thrust belt comprised of basement nappes separated by late Paleozoic and Mesozoic cover sequences.
		The main nappe complexes are: (1) the Danubian, containing a metamorphosed basement intruded by late Proterozoic granitoids, (2) the Severin nappe, a fragment of Jurassic oceanic crust, and (3) the Getic-Supragetic unit (GS), consisting of incorporated basement nappes displaying medium to high pressure metamorphic assemblages whose age and origin is controversial.
