  2. 1. Assembly of the Caledonian Orogenic Wedge, Jämtland, Sweden

    Author : Hagen Bender; Uwe Ring; Bjarne SG Almqvist; Rob Strachan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collisional orogeny; Scandinavian Caledonides; Seve Nappe Complex; Köli Nappe Complex; in-sequence thrusting; out-of-sequence thrusting; imbrication; nappe stacking; orogenic wedge assembly; Rb–Sr geochronology; rock magnetism; anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility; Geology; geologi;

    Abstract : Collisional orogeny creates the largest mountain belts on Earth. The Caledonides of Scandinavia are a deeply eroded, ancient mountain belt, which today exposes a deep section through the former orogenic interior. READ MORE

  4. 2. Testing Tectonic Concepts in the Seve Nappe Complex, Jämtland, Sweden

    Author : Hagen Bender; Uwe Ring; Bjarne Almqvist; Karin Högdal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Caledonian orogeny; Seve Nappe Complex; Kinematic analysis; Geology; geologi;

    Abstract : When continental plates collide, one of the involved continents is subducted beneath the other one. As a consequence, the lithosphere thickens along the convergent plate boundary and causes the formation of a mountain belt. READ MORE

  5. 3. Constraining the Uplift History of the Al Hajar Mountains, Oman

    Author : Reuben Hansman; Uwe Ring; Victoria Pease; Hemin Koyi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oman; Al Hajar; mountain; uplift; orogeny; tectonics; structural; geology; Geology; geologi;

    Abstract : Mountain building is the result of large compressional forces in the Earth’s crust where two tectonic plates collide. This is why mountains only form at plate boundaries, of which the Al Hajar Mountains in Oman and the United Arab Emirates is thought to be an example of. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cryptic Orogeny : uplift of the Al Hajar Mountains at an alleged passive margin

    Author : Reuben Johannes Hansman; Ring Uwe; Joachim Jacobs; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uplift; mountains; structural; low-temperature; thermochronology; dating; fission-track; U-Th He; U-Pb; calcite; structure-from-motion; photogrammetry; UAV; trishear; fault-propagation; Hafit; Al Hajar Mountains; United Arab Emirates; Oman; Geology; geologi;

    Abstract : Mountains evolve and grow because of the large forces that occur from the collision of tectonic plates. Plate boundaries change and move through time, and regions that were once stable, shallow-marine environments can be dragged into subduction zones and get transformed into vast mountain ranges.

  7. 5. Vein controlled crystal size distributions of Barrovian index minerals

    Author : Alexander Lewerentz; Alasdair Skelton; Uwe Ring; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The concept of index mineral based metamorphic zones was first introduced by George Barrow in 1912, and Barrovian metamorphism is still applied by metamorphic petrologists. Today the importance of metamorphic fluids for driving metamorphic reactions is widely recognised. READ MORE
