This article reviews the geology of the Sveconorwegian orogen in south Scandinavia and
existing tectonic models for the Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Sveconorwegian …

Explosive volcanic eruptions constitute a major class of natural hazard with potentially
profound economic and societal consequences. Although such eruptions cannot be …

Granitoids of the tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) series dominate Earth's earliest
continental crust. The geochemical diversity of TTGs is ascribed to several possible …

We recognize eight types of ferroan granitoid that can be distinguished on the basis of major
element chemistry. These include alkalic granitoids that may be metaluminous or …

Biotite (sensu lato) is a widespread rock‐forming mineral in magmatic rocks that can be
stable in a broad range of pressure and temperature, but appropriate biotite thermometers or …

Amphibole is widely employed to calculate crystallization temperature and pressure,
although its potential as a geobarometer has always been debated. Recently, Ridolfi et …

The Sveconorwegian orogenic belt is situated at the southwestern margin of Fennoscandia.
It is one of the classical, well-exposed Grenvillian orogenic belts (Fig. 1)(Berthelsen 1980) …

Recent advances in our ability to resolve the PTt (pressure-temperature-time) paths of
orogenic terranes have continued to re-emphasize the common marriage between petrology …

Chemical diversity in convergent margin magmas is a product of igneous differentiation in
crustal hot zones, vertically extensive regions characterised by a low-volume (< 20%) mobile …

The late stages of the Variscan orogeny are characterized by middle to lower crustal melting
and intrusion of voluminous granitoids throughout the belt, which makes it akin to “hot” …
