The Ross Orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains
Author: Edmund Stump
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521433143
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The Ross Orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains is the part of the orogenic system that formed at the Pacific continental margin of present-day Antarctica. According to a recent hypothesis, this continental margin was created by the rifting and subsequent drift of Laurentia from Gondwana. With an unparalleled breadth and depth of information, this book provides a detailed synthesis of the history of the Ross orogen. In doing so, it incorporates classical studies with discussions of the most recent and controversial research from the international community. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and a historical chronology of all expeditions that have worked on the Ross orogen in the Transantarctic Mountains, from the first sightings by Ross in 1840 right up to the present day. This review of the Ross orogen of the Transantarctic Mountains will be valuable to all geologists interested in these episodes in the Earth's history, and to researchers of the geology of Antarctica.

Geology and Geophysics of Marie Byrd Land, Northern Victoria Land, and Oates Coast
Author: Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe
Publisher: Hannover : Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The seventh German Antarctic North Victoria Land Expedition (GANOVEX VII) took place in the austral summer of 1992/93. Geological and geophysical investigations were carried out on both sides of the Ross Sea: on King Edward VII Peninsula, northwestern Marie Byrd Land, in the east, and in northern Victoria Land and the adjacent Oates Coast in the west. Apatite fission-track data from the Alexandra and Rockefeller Mountains on Edward VII Peninsula indicate that the thermal history of the eastern rift flank of northern Victoria Land was different from that of the western rift shoulder. Tectonic and isostatic control factors on the landscape evolution of the coastal mountains of northern Victoria Land and their relationship to the Ross Sea rift are discussed in one paper of this volume. Regional metamorphic rocks appear on both sides of the Ross Sea. They were affected by the Ross orogeny and are related to the formation of the Gondwana supercontinent. The type and degree of metamorphism of the Early Palaeozoic regional metamorphic rocks of the Swanson Formation in westernmost Marie Byrd Land were studied and compared with metamorphic rocks in northern Victoria Land and on South Island, New Zealand. A paper deals with the origin of the amphibolites in the Priestley Formation of the Wilson Terrane of northern Victoria Land. The composition of the volcanic parent rocks of the Bowers Terrane metamorphic rocks in northern Victoria Land and their plate tectonic setting are discussed in another paper. The gravity measurements of previous GANOVEX expeditions were continued in Victoria Land between Brimstone Peak and Coulman Island, south of Lillie Marleen Hut, and in the Oates Coast region. Two-dimensional models are used to interpret the data obtained along two profiles from the polar plateau to the coast.
