2. 1. Geography and geometry of pre-Caledonian western Baltica: U-Pb geochronology and Palaeomagnetism

   Author : Emma Rehnström; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Fennoscandia; correlations; Baltica; Early Palaeozoikum; palaeogeography; orthogneisses; nappes; palaeomagnetism; U-Pb geochronology; Caledonian orogen; Scandinavia;

   Abstract : In an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Precambrian and Caledonian history of Svalbard’s West Ny Friesland Terrane

   Author : Fredrik Hellman; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geologi; physical geography; Geology; Detrital; Zircon; Svalbard; Caledonides; Spitsbergen; fysisk geografi; Petrology; mineralogy; geochemistry; Petrologi; mineralogi; geokemi;

   Abstract : This thesis deals mainly with age-investigations of metasedimentary and magmatic rocks of Ny Friesland, located in the northeastern Svalbard. However, the provenance of quartz-porphyry clasts in a Devonian conglomerate have also been investigated in northwestern Svalbard. READ MORE

6. 4. 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
