Seismic imaging in the eastern Scandinavian Caledonides: siting the 2.5 km deep COSC-2 borehole, central Sweden [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2016
The Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC) project, a contribution to the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), aims to provide a deeper understanding of mountain belt dynamics.

Structure and stratigraphy of the Morar Group in Knoydart, NW Highlands: implications for the history of the Moine Nappe and stratigraphic links between the Moine and Torridonian successions [PDF]

, 2014
The Caledonian Orogen in northern Scotland comprises two major thrust nappes: the Moine and the Sgurr Beag Nappe. The Moine Nappe contains early Neoproterozoic Morar Group rocks (Moine Supergroup) and basement inliers.

Crustal Structure of Laurentia and Peri‐Gondwanan Terranes Beneath Ireland and Britain and Comparison With Eastern North America

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Appalachian‐Caledonian orogen was built during the Paleozoic by accretion of peri‐Gondwanan terranes onto Laurentia, culminating in the formation of Pangea. During the Mesozoic, Pangea broke apart, displacing one section of the belt to eastern North America and another to northwestern Europe.

Decompressional equilibration of the Midsund granulite from Otrøy, Western Gneiss Region, Norway

Geologica Carpathica, 2019
The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of the Scandinavian Caledonides is an archetypal terrain for high-pressure (HP) and ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism. However, the vast majority of lithologies occurring there bear no, or only limited, evidence for HP

Evolution and Provenance of the Polish Rotliegend in the Southern Permian Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Southern Permian Basin (SPB) has been extensively explored for ore deposits. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the remaining copper potential, specifically for sediment‐hosted stratiform copper system, remains lacking. This study applies goSPL, an open‐source landscape and stratigraphic evolution model, to reconstruct the Permian rift‐

The Impact of Orogenic Inheritance on Rifted Margin Formation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Many rifted margins form within pre‐existing orogenic belts, emphasizing the significance of structural, thermal, and compositional inheritance in shaping rift dynamics. However, a key unresolved question is how these different types of orogenic inheritance individually influence rift evolution.

Greenland from Archaean to Quaternary, Descriptive text to the 1995 Geological Map of Greenland 1:2 500 000, 2nd edition [PDF]

, 2009
The geological development of Greenland spans a period of nearly 4 Ga, from Eoarchaean to the Quaternary. Greenland is the largest island on Earth with a total area of 2 166 000 km2, but only c.

Unusual biota and palynofacies of a Lower Devonian intermontane basin saline lake–playa mudflat ecosystem

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract The Strathpeffer–Struie Lower Devonian LORS (Lower Old Red Sandstone) deposits of the Northern Highlands of Scotland contain the decidedly unusual ‘foetid beds’. These are interpreted as being deposited in a highly saline sulphate lake and associated playa mudflat, which developed in an intermontane basin in the Caledonian Mountains of ...

Long story encrypted in a small grain – zircon from meta-andesite in the Lower Köli Nappes reveals a complex history of the Virisen Arc Terrane, Scandinavian Caledonides, Sweden

Mineralogia
This short report presents the investigation results on the zircon from meta-andesitic rock from the Ankarede Volcanite Formation of the Lower Köli Nappe Complex in Scandinavian Caledonides. Previous U-Pb dating revealed a wide span of dates ranging from
