The Nagssugtoqidian Orogen of west Greenland has attracted much attention as one of the worlds most completely exposed foreland-to-foreland transects of a deep precambrian Orogen. However, recent work has failed to confirm the presence of major displacement, crustal-scale shear zones and thrusts anywhere in the orogen that should mark a continent-continent suture. This project, in conjunction with the Danish Lithosphere Centre, will attempt to date, characterize and interpret metamorphism of this belt, previously thought to be a type example of a deep suture, and develop a tectonic model for its formation. Results should determine if the deformation was due to an intracontinential or an intercontinental tectonic setting. ; Oh +' 0 $ H l D h S u m m a r y I n f o r m a t i o n ( R:WWUSERTEMPLATENORMAL.DOT 9526684 Felicia Smith Felicia Smith @ @ @ @ F # Microsoft Word 6.0 1 ; ; K @ Normal a " A@ " Default Paragraph Font > Felicia Smith-\CLM12EARTESHR1995SEPTABSTRACTCONNEL.TXT @HP LaserJet IIID LPT3: hppcl5a HP LaserJet IIID 8D R HP LaserJet IIID 8D R 1 Times New Roman Symbol & Arial " h $ 5 9526684 Felicia Smith Felicia Smith ; ;
