Accurate spatial models of tectonic plates and geological terranes are important for
analyzing and interpreting a wide variety of geoscientific data and developing compositional …

Abstract The North Australian Craton is a significant crustal element of the Australian
continent. In this review, we focus on the internal architecture of the North Australian Craton …

Abstract The Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO), formed from the convergence between the
Superior craton and the composite Churchill Upper Plate (CUP), is one of the best …

Abstract The Ramsay-Graham heterogeneous simple shear zone model revolutionized our
understanding of finite strain variation in orogenic belts. Many deeply exhumed (> 20 km …

The Patterson Lake corridor (PLC) in the southwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin hosts
several high-grade uranium deposits. These deposits are located in the basement up to 900 …

This study characterizes the polyphase tectonometamorphic history of a major shear system
in the Rae craton, the Howard Lake shear zone (HLsz), which exhumed high-grade rocks in …

Abstract The northern Canadian Shield is comprised of multiple Archean cratons that were
sutured by the late Paleoproterozoic to form the Canadian component of supercontinent …

Abstract Uranium-lead (U-Pb) accessory mineral petrochronology has been increasingly
used to constrain the timing of tectonometamorphic events. However, because mafic rocks …

Accretionary-collisional events occurred at the western margin of the Tuva-Mongolian
microcontinent are used to explain the largely contradictory Cambrian geodynamic history of …

Palaeoproterozoic orogenesis within the Archean southeastern Rae craton is related to the
initial amalgamation of Laurentia. Characterizing the accompanying tectonic processes …
