Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean was the first ancient ocean to be identified following the
development of plate tectonics; its history has been fundamental in relating orogenesis and …

Abstract During the Early to Middle Palaeozoic, prior to formation of Pangaea, the Canadian
and adjacent New England Appalachians evolved as an accretionary orogen. Episodic …

This paper presents new ideas on the Early Palaeozoic geography and tectonic history of
the Iapetus Ocean involved in the formation of the northern Appalachian-British Caledonide …

Recent advances in our understanding of Palaeozoic tectonics, and in the precise dating of
tectonic events require exact definitions of terminology. The Caledonian Orogeny is here …

Recent advances in geochemical studies of igneous rocks, isotopic age data for magmatism
and metamorphism, quantitative pressure-temperature (PT) estimates of metamorphic …

Terra Nova, 23, 241–247, 2011 Abstract Early Variscan structures and magnetic anomalies
delineate four oroclines along the Variscan belt. The arcs bend the lithostratigraphic zones …

Stratigraphy and isotope geochronology in the crystalline core of the Appalachians suggest
revised interpretations of the extent, nature and timing of Paleozoic orogens in New …

We propose a model for syntectonic ascent and emplacement of granite magma based on
structural relations in part of the northern Appalachians. In the study area in western Maine …

LA-ICP-MS U–Pb ages of detrital zircons from eight siliciclastic samples from the Basal units
of the Variscan allochthonous complexes of NW Iberia are used to establish the maximum …
