Abstract The Wilson Cycle theory that oceans close and reopen along the former suture is a
fundamental concept in plate tectonics. It was named after J. Tuzo Wilson who recognised …

Abstract West and East Ganderia in the northern Appalachians and Caledonides,
respectively, represent a Gondwanan superterrane situated along the Tornquist margin of …

Lithospheric extension plays a pivotal role in governing the evolution of continents and the
birth of oceanic basins on Earth. Despite this, quantifying wide-mode lithospheric extension …

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 …

Abstract The northern North Sea rift basin developed on a heterogeneous crust comprising
structures inherited from the Caledonian orogeny and Devonian postorogenic extension …

Abstract Throughout the Late Permian and Mesozoic the proto-North Atlantic seaway formed
a narrow portal that, together with the linked rift systems of the North Sea, controlled marine …

Plate tectonics provides the linking framework for all tectonic and magmatic activity seen
today, but it is not known when plate tectonics first developed on Earth. New deep seismic …

Smeaheia, a prominent fault block located on the Horda Platform, northern North Sea is
identified as a potential subsurface CO 2 storage site. We utilise the GN1101 3D seismic …

The northern North Sea region has experienced repeated phases of post-Caledonian
extension, starting with extensional reactivation of the low-angle basal Caledonian thrust …

The appinite suite of rocks offers a unique opportunity to study the effect of water on the
generation, emplacement and crystallization history of mafic to felsic magma. The suite …
