Eclogites and eclogites in the Western Gneiss Region, Norwegian Caledonides
TL;DR: The Western Gneiss Region WGR as discussed by the authors marks the outcrop of a composite terrane consisting of variably re-worked Proterozoic basement and parautochthonous or auto-coverage cover units and exhibits a gross structural, petrographic, and thermobarometric zonation from southeast to northwest, reflecting an increasing intensity of Scandian late Palaeozoic.

- 01 Jan 2011
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide insights into the formation of diamond and coesite at very high pressures and explore new ideas regarding the tectonic setting of this style of metamorphism.

A tectonic model for the metamorphic evolution of the Basal Gneiss Complex, Western South Norway
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of currently available information relevant to the Basal Gneiss Complex (BGC) of Western South Norway, combined with the authors' own observations, leads to the following conclusions.

The evolution of the Hornelen Basin detachment system, western Norway: Implications for the style of late orogenic extension in the southern Scandinavian Caledonides
W.J. Wilks,Simon Cuthbert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, structural, clast provenance and geothermobarometric data have been combined to reconstruct the motion history of part of a major late-orogenic extensional shear zone in the southern Scandinavian Caledonides, the Nordfjord-Sogn Detachment (NSD).

Bioavailability of arsenic and antimony in soils from an abandoned mining area, Glendinning (SW Scotland).
TL;DR: Bioavailability of As in the biota, was shown to be limited by pH, and in spite of the considerably high As and Sb contents of the soil the plant contamination remained comparably low, but still exceeded background values.
