Abstract:
The Tertiary fold-and-thrust belt on Brøggerhalvøya is characterized by a NE-vergent pile of nine thrust sheets. The sole thrust of the pile is located in Precambrian phyllites and climbs up-section to the northeast. Four lower thrust sheets consisting predominantly of Upper Palaeozoic sediments are overlain by two thrust sheets in the central part of the stack which contain a kilometre-scale syncline and anticline. The fold is cut by juxtaposed thrusts giving rise to the formation of three structurally higher basement-dominated thrust sheets. A multiple-stage kinematic model is proposed including (1) in-sequence foreland-propagating formation of the lower thrust sheets in response to N–S subhorizontal bedding-parallel movements, (2) a change in tectonic transport to ENE and out-of-sequence thrusting and formation of the kilometre-scale fold-structure followed by (3) truncation of the kilometre-scale fold and stacking of the highest basement-dominated thrust sheets by hind-ward-propagating out-of-sequence thrusting. The strain of the thrust sheets is predominantly compressive with the exception of the structurally highest thrust sheets, reflecting a temporal change to a more transpressive regime. Thrusting was followed by (4) N–S extension and (5) W–E extension. Comparison of the structural geometry and kinematic evolution of Brøggerhalvøya with the data reported for the fold belt further south allows us to assume a coeval evolution with the fold belt. A latest Paleocene/Early Eocene age for the main phase of thrusting is suggested for the West Spitsbergen Fold-and-Thrust Belt; the main phases therefore pre-date the separation of Svalbard and Greenland due to right-lateral movements along the Hornsund Fault Zone. The fold belt's temporal evolution followed by the formation of the Forlandsundet Graben can be linked with the plate-kinematic framework in the span between latest Paleocene and Middle Eocene times.

Abstract:
AbstractThe geometry and kinematic evolution of a frontal ramp section associated with the Tertiary West Spitsbergen Orogenic Belt has been investigated in a small area (Lappdalen) north of Isfjorden. The previously recognized thrust front corresponds to a complex step or ramp in the position of the sole-thrust in the area. The sole-thrust is localized to the evaporites of the Permian Gipshuken Formation to the west of the footwall ramp, whereas to the east it continues as a bedding-parallel thrust in Triassic shales (Sassendalen Group). The area to the west of the footwall ramp is characterized by large scale thrusts and folds involving the Permian Gipshuken and Kapp Starostin formations and the lower part of the Triassic Sassendalen Group. East of the footwall ramp both Permian and Triassic strata are sub-horizontal and apparently undeformed. Three major thrust sheets are recognized. Based on the geometric relationship between folds and faults in the area, both fault-bend and fault-propogation mechanisms of folding are inferred. Restoration of the Kapp Starostin Formation to its pre-deformational state indicates a minimum of 35% shortening. Structural observations within the Sassendalen Group in the study area and on Dickson Land suggest that some of this shortening is transmitted eastwards along one or more bedding parallel thrusts in the Sassendalen Group.

Abstract:
The West Spitsbergen Orogen extends along the western side of Spitsbergen from Kongsfjorden to Sørkapp. It is the product of the latest main deformation event in Svalbard (Spitsbergian) dated provisionally as Eocene. The deformation is of a compressive or transpressive nature associated with the dextral strike-slip displacement between Svalbard and Greenland through Cenozoic time.Within this fold and thrust belt earlier diastrophism is evident: Minor Late Cretaceous tilting with uplift took place. The main events were mid-Paleozoic. The mid-Paleozoic tectogenesis is commonly referred to as Caledonian. However the age of deformation appears to be mid-Ordovician rather than the typical mid-Silurian of the central and eastern terranes of Svalbard. To avoid confusion this is referred to as the Eidembreen tectogenesis (analogous with the M'Clintock Orogeny of northern Ellesmere Island). Some uncertainty must remain as to whether there was any Silurian diastrophism or more likely, late Devonian Early Carboniferous tectonism to match the Ellesmerian events of Arctic Canada. The rocks divide naturally into younger (Carboniferous through Eocene) strata, i.e. post-Devonian, and pre-Devonian older rocks, there being no Devonian exposure within the orogen.Whereas the West Spitsbergen Orogeny was Paleogene (treated in Chapter 20) the orogen comprises the whole body of rock whether formed earlier or later. Because of the complex earlier history and variety of strata and structure along its length it is convenient to treat the structure in two parts, north and south of Isfjorden (Chapters 9 and 10 respectively). In this chapter the area treated comprises Oscar II Land and

Abstract:
AbstractConstruction of cross-sections in Bellsund and Hornsund, southern Spitsbergen, using offshore and onshore structural data illustrate the main tectonic units of the region. From west to east these are: a wedge of late Cenozoic clastic sediments; a series of late Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic grabens controlled by basement faults along the west Spitsbergen margin; the Basement Horst, comprising late Precambrian to early Palaeozoic rocks deformed and metamorphosed during a mid-Palaeozoic orogeny; the Fold Belt, which forms a narrow NNW–SSE striking zone of eastward verging folds and thrusts attributed to Eocene inversion of a pre-Cenozoic basin; the Palaeogene Central Basin, deformed into a broad synclinorium and bound to the east by the Billefjorden Fault Zone. This basement lineament shows evidence of Palaeogene reactivation and may be linked to the Fold Belt by a detachment zone beneath the Central Basin. East of Spitsbergen, there is an offshore basin of possible Carboniferous age controlled by the Storfjorden Fault Zone which shows evidence of later inversion to form a positive flower structure.

Abstract:
AbstractMagnetic, petrological and mineralogical data from 13 sites (99 independently oriented samples) of the Lower Triassic rocks located in the SW segment of the West Spitsbergen Fold and Thrust Belt (WSFTB) are presented in order to identify the ferrimagnetic carriers and establish the origin of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM). Volcanic lithoclasts and other detrital resistive grains in which the primary magnetization might endure are present in some samples. On the other hand, petrological studies indicate that sulphide remineralization could have had an important influence on the remagnetization of these rocks. The dominant ferrimagnetic carriers are titanomagnetite and magnetite. While the titanomagnetite may preserve the primary magnetization, the magnetite is a more likely potential carrier of secondary overprints. The complex NRM patterns found in most of the samples may be explained by the coexistence and partial overlapping of components representing different stages of magnetization. Components of both polarities were identified in the investigated material. The reversal test performed on the most stable components that demagnetized above 300°C proved to be negative at the 95% confidence level at any stage of unfolding. They are better grouped, however, after 100% tectonic corrections and the most stable components are clustered in high inclinations (c. 70–80°). This suggests that at least part of the measured palaeomagnetic vectors represent a secondary prefolding magnetic overprint that originated in post-Jurassic time before the WSFTB event. Vitrinite reflectance studies show these rocks have not been subjected to any strong heating (<200°C).

Abstract:
The High Arctic has been a complex region of collisional and extensional tectonism through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Svalbard, the sub-aerial exposure of the northwestern Barents Shelf, is an excellent natural laboratory investigating for High Arctic tectonism. Using apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He low-temperature thermochronometry combined with geological constraints, we resolve Cretaceous through Paleogene time-temperature histories for four regions of the Southwestern Province. Our results indicate a temperature gradient from south to north of ~185°C to >200°C, respectively, as a consequence of sedimentary burial and elevated geothermal gradient ( 45°C/km) from High Arctic Large Igneous Province activity. Late Cretaceous cooling affected all regions during regional exhumation related to initial rifting in the Eurasian Basin. During Eurekan tectonism: 1) our models indicate a heating event (55-47 Ma) characterized by overthrusting and a lack of erosion of the West Spitsbergen Fold-and-Thrust Belt, with Central Basin sediments derived from northern Greenland, followed by 2) a subsequent cooling event (47-34 Ma) corresponding to a shift in tectonic regime from compression to dextral strike-slip kinematics; exhumation of the WSFTB coincided with strikeslip tectonics.

Abstract:
The Arabian Gulf represents a significant water body and strategic pathway, which has pronounced regional and international benefits. This research investigated the evolution of the Arabian Gulf geosyncline. Furthermore, it explored the formation, geologic and tectonic settings of Halul and Al-Alyia offshore Islands, as examples of two different evolution models, within the emergence framework. The Arabian Gulf geosyncline has been emerged during the Cenozoic Era (Late Miocene-Pliocene Epoch), situated in the northeastern collisional marginal part of the Arabian Plate, as a foredeep geosyncline or basin, squeezed or crammed between the stable Arabian Plate and the mobile Euro-Asian Plate, along the subduction zone, within Zagros Mountain Fold Thrust Belt. Halul Island is situated to the northeast of the Greater Doha City and has great national economic value. It has a unique shape, elongated domal structure, oriented from South-West to North-East. The tectonic setting of Halul Island is classified as salt diapirism. The surface geology of this Island is dominated by carbonate rocks, mainly limestone and dolomitic limestone, and some igneous rock, such as basalt and Tholeiite. Al-Alyia Island is an integral part of the mainland. It is situated within the Greater Doha City's vicinity, in the eastern coastal zone. The Island is oriented from south-east to north-west. It is characterized by a gentle slope and low relief topography. The main rocks forming the island is the limestone and dolomitic limestone of the Simsima /Umm Bab Member of the Upper Dammam Formation of Tertiary age. This fact suggests that the island has a similar geologic setting to the mainland. This study revealed that the Halul Island evolution model is completely different from the evolution model of Al-Alyia Island, as Halul Island is a typical example model of salt dome Island, and remnants of the infracambrian salt basin, while Al-Alyia Island represents a different sedimentation model. This research has been carried out as part of the Environmental Science Center (ESC), Qatar University research agenda.
