Abstract The Cenozoic Himalaya-Tibet orogen is generally regarded as the archetypal
continental collision zone and is often used as an analogue for interpreting ancient orogenic …

The extensional collapse of an orogenic belt occurs when the gravitational potential energy
in thickened crust is released by spreading laterally. Collapse may occur during shortening …

Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale
orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

We report the discovery of one of the largest ancient (> 3.0 Ga) crustal terranes on Earth.
Granitoids with crystallization ages> 3.0 Ga and/or Sm-Nd depleted mantle model ages≥ …

A new tectonic model is presented to explain the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the
Paleoproterozoic Karrat Group in central West Greenland and the polyphase deformation …

Three Orosirian basins and associated foreland thrust-fold belts are preserved on the
margins of the Slave craton. All three are related to orogenic belts where oceans opened …

This study characterizes the polyphase tectonometamorphic history of a major shear system
in the Rae craton, the Howard Lake shear zone (HLsz), which exhumed high-grade rocks in …

Abstract Boothia Peninsula–Somerset Island is an under-explored frontier region of Arctic
Canada, long considered part of the Rae craton, that exposes widespread semipelitic rocks …

Research conducted over the last four decades emphasizes the growing importance of
Afghanistan's mineral resources as a potential driver for economic growth. The United States …
