Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

This paper gives an overview of the large-scale tectonic styles encountered in orogens
worldwide. Thin-skinned and thick-skinned tectonics represent two end member styles …

Following an outline of Scandinavian Caledonide tectonostratigraphy, tracing the
Neoproterozoic, Baltoscandian, passive margin of Baltica outboard into the suspect, Iapetus …

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 …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift evolved through multiple rift phases within a highly
heterogeneous crystalline basement. The geometry and evolution of syn‐rift depocenters …

Pre-existing structures within crystalline basement may exert a significant influence over the
evolution of rifts. However, the exact manner in which these structures reactivate and thus …

Thirty years of research, and especially the refinements of many geological, geochemical
and geophysical techniques, have uncovered many new facets of the geology of the …

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 …

Shear zones play a major role in the deformation of the crust at a variety of scales, as
expressions of strain localization during orogeny and rifting, and also as reactivated …

Complexly deformed rocks that exhibit refolded folds and overprinting planar fabrics are
often interpreted as the result of polyphase deformation and described in a scheme of …
