1. Geography and geometry of pre-Caledonian western Baltica: U-Pb geochronology and Palaeomagnetism
Sammanfattning : In an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. LÄS MER
2. The West Ny Friesland Terrane : An exhumed mid-crustal obliquely convergent orogen : by Patrik W. Nilsson
Sammanfattning : Ny Friesland, in northeastern Svalbard, is the type-area for transpressive orogeny. The West Ny Friesland Terrane (WNT) is composed of a c. 12 km thick basal succession of amphibolite-grade schists and gneisses, previously thought to be the lower of a c. 20 km thick succession of concordant, volcano-sedimentary strata.

3. The tectonic evolution of northwest Svalbard
Sammanfattning : Svalbard represents the uplifted and exhumed northwest corner of the Barents Sea Shelf. Pre-Carboniferous rocks of Svalbard are divided into the Eastern, Northwestern and Southwestern Terranes, were amalgamated during the Caledonian Orogen and are separated by north-south-trending strike-slip faults.

4. An integrated study of geological, magnetic and electromagnetic data for mineral exploration in the Jameson Land Basin, central East Greenland
Sammanfattning : The Jameson Land Basin, located in central East Greenland, initiated in Devonian time with the collapse of the over-thickened Caledonian Orogen. The basin developed during different phases of rifting from the late Paleozoic to the Mesozoic and has accumulated between 16-18 km of sediments. LÄS MER
