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 opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

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 …

The deformed margin of the Laurentian craton, preserved within the Appalachian-
Caledonide Orogen, is one of Earth's best studied ancient continental margins. Within the …

U-Pb dates on magmatic and detrital zircon from samples in the hinterland of the Taconic
orogen place new constraints on the timing and plate tectonic geometry of terrane accretion …

Ongoing seafloor exploration highlights that ultramafic-hosted seafloor massive sulfide
deposits (UM-SMS) are ubiquitous along slow to ultra-slow spreading ridges. These …

We argue there is no distinction between accretion and collision as a process, except when
accretion is used in the sense of incorporating small bodies of sedimentary and/or volcanic …

Ordovician strata of the Mohawk Valley and Taconic allochthon of New York and the
Humber margin of Newfoundland record multiple magmatic and basin-forming episodes …

Geochemical data from Katian to earliest Emsian (∼ 453–405 Ma) igneous rocks in
northeastern North America and the British Isles were compiled to identify tectono-magmatic …

Abstract The Taconian–Grampian tract was characterized by a diachronous collision of a
north-facing oceanic arc–forearc terrane and associated backarc basins with an irregular …
