A New Eclogite Province in the Caledonides of North-East Greenland-Petrology, Geochronology, and Tectonic Implications

大多数目前的构造模型显示，劳伦提斯被绑架到波罗的海，产生高压区域变质作用，现在暴露在斯堪的纳维亚加里东。 东格陵兰代表了这些模型中的上板块位置，预计不会包含高压带。 然而，格陵兰东部榴辉岩的早期报告已得到证实，本项目将侧重于确定这些榴辉岩的范围、几何形状和时间，并将试图使这种情况与加里东构造模型相一致。 研究结果将对该造山带的构造历史和演化有重要意义。

Most current tectonic models for the Arctic Caledonides show Laurentia abducted onto Baltica, producing high-pressure regional metamorphism, now exposed in the Scandinavian Caledonides. East Greenland represents upper plate positions in these models, and are not expected to contain high pressure tracts. However, early reports of eclogite in east Greenland have been confirmed and this project will focus on determining the extent, geometry and timing of these eclogite rocks and will attempt to reconcile this occurrence with tectonic models for the Caledonides. Results are expected to make important mmdifications to the structural history and evolution of this orogen.
