Deep Crustal Flow Within Postorogenic Metamorphic Core Complexes: Insights From the Southern Western Gneiss Region of Norway
Wiest, Johannes; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Jacobs, Joachim; Fossen, Haakon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Viscous crustal flow can exhume once deeply buried rocks in postorogenic metamorphic core complexes (MCCs). While migmatite domes record the flow dynamics of anatectic crust, the mechanics and kinematics of solid‐state ... -
From Caledonian collapse to North Sea Rift: The extended history of a metamorphic core complex
Wiest, Johannes; Wrona, Thilo; Bauck, Marit Stokke; Fossen, Haakon; Gawthorpe, Rob; Osmundsen, Per Terje; Faleide, Jan Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Extensional systems evolve through different stages due to changes in the rheological state of the lithosphere. It is crucial to distinguish ductile structures formed before and during rifting, as both cases have important ... -
Segmentation of the Caledonian orogenic infrastructure and exhumation of the Western Gneiss Region during transtensional collapse
Wiest, Johannes; Jacobs, Joachim; Fossen, Haakon; Ganerød, Morgan; Osmundsen, Per Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The (ultra)high-pressure Western Gneiss Region of the Norwegian Caledonides represents an archetypical orogenic infrastructure of a continent–continent collision zone. To test established exhumation models, we synthesize ...
