The final scientific meeting of AlpArray/4D-MB took place from the 4-6th of October 2023 in Bad Hofgastein in the Austrian Alps. Together, we explored how AlpArray has changed our understanding of mountain-building. We took stock of the unprecedented view of the deep structure beneath the Alps afforded by the AlpArray project and its complimentary experiments. These new images resolved some debates on mountain building, while giving rise to others.
