Abstract The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal
continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic …

A long-standing question in Earth Sciences is related to the importance of inheritance in
controlling tectonic processes. In contrast to physical processes that are generally …

Abstract The Caledonide Orogen in the Nordic countries is exposed in Norway, western
Sweden, westernmost Finland, on Svalbard and in northeast Greenland. In the mountains of …

Amongst existing palaeogeographic models of the Rodinia supercontinent, or portions
thereof, arguments have focused upon geological relations or palaeomagnetic results, but …

Neoproterozoic tectonics is dominated by the amalgamation of the supercontinent Rodinia
at ca. 1.0 Ga, its breakup at ca. 0.75 Ga, and the collision between East and West …

The late Silurian to mid-or late Devonian interval in the Caledonides was a period
dominated, sequentially, by sinistral transpression, strike-slip and transtension during the …

Extensional structures characterize significant parts of the North Atlantic Caledonides.
Silurian extensional deformation took place, particularly in the heated crust in the southern …

The recent discovery of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) mineral parageneses in the far-
transported (greater than 400 km) Seve Nappe Complex of the Swedish Caledonides sheds …

The last decade of structural and isotope-age dating studies in Svalbard and East
Greenland has provided strong support for the close correlation of these segments of the …

In the Caledonian orogen of East Greenland, superb exposure along steep fjord walls
allows direct observation of the origin of ca. 435 Ma S-type granites by anatexis of …
