Archaean plate tectonics in the North Atlantic craton of West Greenland revealed by well-exposed horizontal crustal tectonics, island arcs and tonalite-trondhjemite …
AA Garde, BF Windley, TF Kokfelt… - Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The 700 km-long North Atlantic Craton (NAC) in West Greenland is arguably the best
exposed and most continuous section of Eo-to Neoarchaean crust on Earth. This allows a …
