The topographic evolution of the “passive” margins of the North Atlantic during the last 65
Myr is the subject of extensive debate due to inherent limitations of the geological …

Tectonic influences on long-term climate change are of considerable current interest and
debate. This paper reviews the relationship between multi-million year periods of glaciation …

We present a high-resolution S-velocity model of the North Atlantic region, revealing
structural features in unprecedented detail down to a depth of 1300km. The model is derived …

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides high-resolution point clouds of the topography and
new TLS instruments with ranges exceeding 300 m or even 1000 m are powerful tools for …

It is commonly assumed that elevated, passive continental margins have remained uplifted
since the time of rifting. In many areas, eg Scandinavia, the timing and extent of uplift …

Eocene magmatic breakup along the mid‐Norway rifted margin was preceded by extreme
Jurassic‐Cretaceous crustal thinning in a magma‐poor environment. Along the SE borders …

Atlantic‐type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings
throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long‐term stability of these …

The large‐magnitude faults that control crustal thinning and excision at rifted margins
combine into laterally persistent structural boundaries that separate margin domains of …

TOPO-EUROPE addresses the 4-D topographic evolution of the orogens and intra-plate
regions of Europe through a multidisciplinary approach linking geology, geophysics …

We employ U–Pb calcite dating of structurally-controlled fracture fills within crystalline
Caledonian basement in western Norway to reveal subtle large-scale tectonic events that …
