Description

Special Publication 390

The Caledonides are a major orogenic belt that stretches from the Arctic, through Scandinavia, East Greenland, Britain and Ireland into the Atlantic coast of North America. Following the break-up of Rodinia, the Caledonides formed in the Palaeozoic by the drifting of various continents and their eventual aggregation in the Silurian and Devonian. The orogen subsequently fragmented during the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. This volume brings together 25 papers presenting the results of modern research that investigates the orogenic processes and the provenance of specific components of the belt. The contributions reflect different lines of research, linking traditional field studies with modern analytical techniques. In addition three overview papers summarize the main features of the belts in Scandinavia, Svalbard, East Greenland, Britain and Ireland, highlighting the advances made since the last major synthesis of the Scandinavian Caledonides 30 years ago, and discussing important open questions.

Review by Mark Griffin
27.02.2015


Geoscientist vol 1 Feb 2015

The volume provides an excellent synthesis of the current research efforts within the Caledonides, successfully combining both contributions from field studies and modern analytical techniques. All sections are well written and edited, concisely laid out with clear and appropriate figures, photographs and datatables. The inclusion of numerous colour figures and photographs is a welcome addition and should be applauded. The volume is a recommended read for all Caledonide researchers and should prove to be an essential reference source for many years to come.
