  abstract = {{I}nterpretation of the deformation pattern of the western {R}eguibat {S}hield by integrating current geochronological knowledge allows deciphering the assembly and post-assembly tectonic history of the {A}wsard craton that became involved in the giant {E}burnean (similar to 2 {G}a) accretionary orogen. {F}inal craton assembly took place along the newly recognized early {S}iderian (2.51-2.46 {G}a) {T}iris orogen. {T}he eastern margin of the craton was then affected until 2.07-2.03 {G}a by a west-verging (i.e., craton-ward) thrust system rooted in the collisional contact with the {E}burnean orogen. {C}ollision was controlled by thermal erosion and softening of the craton edge by the accretionary orogen, which allowed for the propagation of the thrust system during craton-ward progression of delamination of the cratonic lithospheric mantle. {T}his resulted in the progressive incorporation of {A}rchean crust into the accretionary orogen. {S}uch a hot mode of collision provides a mechanism for the destruction of cratons by reworking of their crust into their flanking accretionary orogens and recycling of their lithospheric mantle into the asthenosphere. {T}he hot collision mode favors the formation of specific oroclines driven by lithospheric mantle delamination.},
