Abstract The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is the largest accretionary orogen in the
world with considerable Phanerozoic juvenile crustal growth. The eastern segment of the …

The old terrane of Baltica occupies the mass of northern Europe eastwards to the Urals and
lies mostly to the north of the Trans-European Suture Zone. The core, the East European …

In this paper, a new discrimination diagram using absolute measures of Th and Nb is
applied to post-Archean ophiolites to best discriminate a large number of different ophiolitic …

The Central Asian fold belt (Urals–Mongolian belt in the Russian literature), which
incorporates rock units derived from a variety of geodynamic settings, evolved the Palaeo …

We present here a global geochemical dataset from one hundred-and-five greenstone
sequences, ranging in age from the Eoarchean through the Archean and Proterozoic Eons …

Abstract Iberia, Avalonia and the “Armorican” terranes form key constituents of the Variscan–
Appalachian orogen, but their Neoproterozoic origins along the northern Gondwanan …

U/Pb dating, REE geochemistry and Lu/Hf isotopic studies utilizing LA-ICPMS on detrital
zircon suites from Neoproterozoic siliciclastic rocks from the northeast periphery of the East …

This article reviews the characteristics of Arctic lithosphere and the principal tectonic events
which have shaped it. The current state-of-knowledge associated with the crust, crustal …

The Brunovistulian terrane represents a microcontinent of enigmatic Proterozoic provenance
that was located at the southern margin of Baltica in the early Paleozoic. During the Variscan …

The behavior of the solid Earth system is often overlooked when the causes of major
Neoproteozoic (1000–542 Ma) climate and biosphere events are discussed although∼ 20 …
