Palaeomagnetic investigations across Hinlopenstretet border zone: from Caledonian metamorphosed rocks of Ny Friesland to foreland facies of Nordaustlandet (NE Svalbard)

Krzysztof Michalski et al.

Summary: The new demagnetization results of palaeomagnetic specimens from the Neoproterozoic-Lower Paleozoic sequences in Svalbard provide insights into the Caledonian thermal event and the possibility of post-Caledonian rotations affecting the palaeomagnetic record in the Eastern Svalbard Terrane.

Exhumation of the high-pressure Richarddalen Complex in NWSvalbard: Insights from 40Ar/39Argeochronology

Stanislaw Mazur et al.

Summary: This study used 40Ar/39Ar dating to determine the ages of white mica in the Caledonian orogen of NW Svalbard. The results reveal that the oldest age represents the cooling age, while the other ages indicate the timing of subsequent deformation associated with the Caledonian nappe stack.

Interpreting and reporting 40Ar/39Ar geochronologic data

Allen J. Schaen et al.

Summary: The 40Ar/39Ar dating method is versatile and can provide precise age constraints for a wide range of materials, but age dispersion must be considered. The interpretation of dates depends on the geological problem being addressed and the assumptions associated with each data set, highlighting the need for collateral information to better constrain interpretation.

Late Mesoproterozoic low-P/T-type metamorphism in the North Wulan terrane: Implications for the assembly of Rodinia

Lu Wang et al.

Summary: Regional metamorphism plays a crucial role in understanding lithosphere evolution, especially in orogenic systems. This study on the North Wulan terrane in the Greater Tarim block in NW China provides new insights on the evolutionary history of the region during the assembly of Rodinia. The findings suggest a prolonged subduction-to-collision process in the Greater Tarim block around 1.1-0.9 billion years ago, positioning it between western Laurentia and India-East Antarctica.

Tonian deltaic and storm-influenced marine sedimentation on the edge of Laurentia: The Veteranen Group of northeastern Spitsbergen, Svalbard

Timothy M. Gibson et al.

Summary: The Veteranen Group within the Hecla Hoek succession records a deltaic and storm-influenced marine sedimentary system in the early Precambrian era prior to the evolution of land plants. Research indicates that the contact with the Akademikerbreen Group represents a rift-to-drift transition.
