Abstract:
The Finlayson Lake Fault Zone forms a fundamental, but little studied, tectonic boundary between strata of autochthonous North America and the accreted Slide Mountain and Yukon–Tanana terranes in southeastern Yukon. A structural and petrologic study was undertaken to examine the depositional environment of the Slide Mountain Terrane, its tectono-thermal evolution in the fault zone, and its relationship with the Yukon–Tanana Terrane. The Slide Mountain and Yukon–Tanana terranes are divisible into units dominated by metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. Field observations and whole-rock geochemistry indicate that Slide Mountain greenstone is ocean-floor basalt deposited in a deep submarine basin with a proximal terrigenous sediment influx. Either a marginal- or ocean-basin setting is supported by the data. Slide Mountain greenstone is thrust northeastward over metasedimentary rocks of Slide Mountain Terrane and southwestward over rocks of the Yukon–Tanana Terrane. Regional metamorphic grade ranges from subgreenschist to greenschist facies. Pressure–temperature estimates for the subgreenschist–greenschist facies transition are 270–310 °C and 2.1–3.6 kbar (1 kbar = 100 MPa), based on assumed geothermal gradients and the reaction isograd Pmp + Chl = Act + Ep + H2O. Metamorphic peak postdates motion along the westernmost reverse fault that juxtaposes the Slide Mountain and Yukon–Tanana terranes. We interpret the Finlayson Lake Fault Zone as a northeasterly directed thrust sequence disrupted by synmetamorphic back thrusts. The back thrusting may be the consequence of shortening in the upper crust, or larger scale processes such as "tectonic wedging" of Yukon–Tanana Terrane under Slide Mountain Terrane.

Abstract:
U–Pb geochronologic studies have been conducted on 60 detrital zircon grains from Permian(?) and Triassic metasandstones of the Taku terrane in central southeast Alaska. The resulting ages are mainly in the range 349–387 Ma, with five additional grains that yield probable ages ranging from ~906 to ~2643 Ma. These ages are similar to the ages of detrital zircons in Carboniferous and older rocks of the Yukon–Tanana terrane, which lies directly east of the Taku terrane. In contrast, these ages are different from the ages of detrital zircon grains in the Alexander terrane to the west. The data are accordingly consistent with models in which the Taku terrane is a western component of the Stikine and Yukon–Tanana terranes, and that this crustal fragment is separated by a fundamental tectonic boundary from rocks of the Alexander and Wrangellia terranes to the west.

Abstract:
Zircon from eclogite near Last Peak in the Teslin tectonic zone yielded a U–Pb isotopic age of 269 + 2 Ma (2σ), the first precise age for such a rock in the Yukon –Tanana terrane of the Canadian Cordillera. Both the morphology and geochemistry of the eclogitic zircons indicate a metamorphic origin, and the U – Pb age therefore constrains the timing of peak high-pressure metamorphism in this rock. The U – Pb age demonstrates for the first time that an Early Permian high-pressure metamorphic event occurred in rocks now making up the Teslin tectonic zone, and possibly elsewhere in the Yukon – Tanana terrane. This U – Pb age provides a new geochronologic "pin" in the evolution of the Yukon – Tanana terrane prior to its Mesozoic accretion to the North American continental margin and, combined with recent 40Ar/39Ar muscovite data, indicates that high-pressure metamorphism at this time was a relatively short-lived event.

Abstract:
Yukon–Tanana terrane in the southern Campbell Range is composed of rocks that have different metamorphic, exhumation, and structural histories, and that have formed in disparate parts of the Paleozoic Yukon–Tanana volcanic arc. The geological relationships in the southern Campbell Range reveal the tectonic and structural history of the Klatsa metamorphic complex, which represents the remnants of an Early Mississippian subduction zone beneath the Yukon–Tanana arc. The Klatsa metamorphic complex is composed of foliated to massive serpentinite, leucogabbro, amphibolite, and retrogressed eclogitic quartz–muscovite schist with lenses of metabasite. It was structurally juxtaposed on Upper Mississippian to Lower Permian metasedimentary rocks of the White Lake, King Arctic, and Money Creek formations. Regional and local structural and stratigraphic relationships suggest that the Klatsa metamorphic complex is part of the Cleaver Lake thrust sheet, the structurally highest thrust sheet in a north- to northeast-vergent thrust belt that deformed the Yukon–Tanana terrane during the Early Permian. Restoration of the displacement on the Cleaver Lake and underlying thrust faults places the Klatsa metamorphic complex on the western margin of Yukon–Tanana terrane. Late Devonian to Early Mississippian subduction is thought to have occurred along this margin based on previous paleogeographic reconstructions. Generally north- to northeast-vergent D1 to D3 folds deformed the Klatsa metamorphic complex and adjacent metasedimentary rocks. Jurassic(?) D4 imbricate thrust faulting has, in part, reactivated the Cleaver Lake thrust fault contacts and imbricated the Klatsa metamorphic complex with metasedimentary rocks in fault panels that are repeated at a scale of 10 to hundreds of metres.

Abstract:
Geochemical (major, trace, and rare earth elements) and isotopic (Nd, Sr, and Pb) data of the Devono-Mississippian Wolverine Creek Metamorphic Suite, mid-Cretaceous Dawson Range batholith, mid-Cretaceous Casino Plutonic Suite, and Late Cretaceous plutons provide new information on the origin and evolution of the rocks from the Dawson Range in west-central Yukon, northern Canadian Cordillera. Isotopic and other geochemical data for the Wolverine Creek Metamorphic Suite metasedimentary rocks indicate that the detrital components were derived from two distinct provenances: (1) the North America craton, which contributed evolved felsic, upper crustal material; and (2) a calc-alkaline arc, which shed juvenile mafic-intermediate material. The geochemical affinity of the metaigneous rocks indicates that the Yukon-Tanana terrane represented a continental arc during Devonian-Mississippian times, with magmas derived from geochemically primitive sources and partial melting of the Yukon-Tanana terrane supracrustal rocks. The Dawson Range batholith likely represents crustally derived magmas from the Yukon-Tanana terrane during the mid-Cretaceous, with the contemporaneous Casino Plutonic Suite representing a late-stage fractionate of these magmas. The Late Cretaceous porphyry Cu mineralization is genetically related to plutons derived from mantle-source magmas related to active subduction.

Abstract:
Triassic rocks of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) have previously been interpreted as being deposited on the passive margin of North America. Recent detrital zircon provenance studies on equivalent Triassic rocks in the Yukon have suggested that these rocks were in part derived from the pericratonic Yukon–Tanana terrane and were deposited in a foreland basin related to the Late Permian Klondike orogeny. Detrital zircons within a number of samples collected from Triassic sediments of the WCSB throughout northeastern British Columbia and western Alberta suggest that the bulk of the sediment was derived from recycled sediments of the miogeocline along western North America, with a smaller but significant proportion coming from the Innuitian orogenic wedge in the Arctic and from local plutonic and volcanic rocks. There is also evidence of sediment being derived from the Yukon–Tanana terrane, supporting the model of terrane accretion occurring prior to the Triassic. The age distribution of detrital zircons from the WCSB in British Columbia is similar to those of the Selwyn and Earn sub-basins in the Yukon and is in agreement with previous observations that sediment deposited along the margin of North America during the Triassic was derived from similar source areas. Together these findings support the model of deposition within a foreland basin, similar to the one inferred in the Yukon. Only a small proportion of zircon derived from the Yukon–Tanana terrane is present within Triassic strata in northeastern British Columbia, which may be due to post-Triassic erosion of the rocks containing these zircons.

Analyses of detrital zircons from three occurrences of Upper Proterozoic clastic rocks of the northern Cassiar terrane in Yukon and northern British Columbia yield a U–Pb age of 2224 ± 22 Ma. The zircons apparently belong to a single population similar in age to zircons in stratigraphically equivalent rocks of the southern Cassiar terrane and to zircons in rocks in the Yukon–Tanana terrane of Alaska. A source terrane or area of the required age and extent has not yet been identified.

Full text
Abstract:
The Sylvester Allochthon is a composite klippe of upper Paleozoic ophiolitic, island-arc, and pericratonic assemblages, which rests directly on the Cassiar terrane, a displaced sliver of Ancestral North America. Each tectonic assemblage occurs at a distinct and consistent structural level within the allochthon. They are assigned, respectively, to the Slide Mountain, Harper Ranch, and Yukon–Tanana terranes. The Sylvester Allochthon provides a view of the structural relationships between these terranes prior to Early Cretaceous – early Tertiary strike-slip dismemberment, as well as possible sedimentological links to late Paleozoic North America. Slide Mountain Terrane assemblages, designated divisions I and II, form the lowest structural panels. Chert – quartz sandstones are interbedded with Lower Mississippian deep-water sediments in division I and ocean-floor basalts and deep-water sediments in division II. They are similar in age and character to sandstones in the autochthonous Earn Group. Division II assemblages represent atypical oceanic crust and upper mantle assemblages. Continuous basalt–sedimentary sequences, well dated by conodont faunas, span Early Mississippian to mid-Permian time. Feeders for the basalts are sills rather than sheeted dyke swarms, suggesting very slow spreading and high(?) sedimentation rates in a marginal-basin setting. These supracrustal sequences are thrust-imbricated with ultramafite–gabbro panels. Division II is in part overlain by a Triassic siliciclastic and limy sedimentary sequence, which resembles the basal Takla Group, Slocan Group, and autochthonous Triassic units. Division III occupies the highest structural levels in the allochthon. With one exception, thrust sheets within it consist of Pennsylvanian to Upper Permian mixed calc-alkaline volcanic and plutonic rocks, chert, tuff, and limestone, assigned to the Harper Ranch Terrane. One panel, assigned to the Yukon–Tanana Terrane, consists of an Early Mississippian quartz diorite pluton with Precambrian inheritance that intrudes older volcanogenic sediments, pyroclastics, limestone, and siliciclastic sediments. Preferred pre-Mesozoic restoration of these terrane elements shows a Harper Ranch arc, built partly on pericratonic Yukon–Tanana and partly on primitive oceanic basement (division III), which is separated from North America by the Slide Mountain marginal basin (divisions I and II).

Abstract:
This study utilised U-Pb geochronology, and 40Ar/39Ar and (U-Th)/He thermochro-nology to delineate arc magmatism, metamorphism, and exhumation of the pericratonic Yukon-Tanana terrane in the McQuesten map area of west-central Yukon, Canada. SHRIMP U-Pb ages delineate Mid to Late Paleozoic arc magmatism and fit key units into the regional lithotectonic framework of the terrane. The juxtaposition of unmetamorphosed and predomi-nantly undeformed Devono-Mississippian rocks in the northwest of the study area with polydeformed and up to amphibolite facies metamorphosed rocks in the southwest suggests a crustal-scale discontinuity, the Willow Lake fault, bounds the two domains. The asymmetric distribution of 40Ar/39Ar ages across the fault suggest it is extensional, and was active in the Early Jurassic. Zircon (U-Th)/He ages delineate erosion of rocks in the northwest through the upper crust during the Late Triassic and Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous followed by Mid-dle Cretaceous erosion of the southwestern domain and possibly fault reactivation.

Abstract:
The St. Cyr klippe hosts well preserved to variably retrogressed eclogites found as sub-meter to hundreds of meter scale lenses within quartzofeldspathic schists in the Yukon-Tanana terrane, Canadian Cordillera. The St. Cyr area consists of structurally imbricated, polydeformed, and polymetamorphosed units of continental arc and oceanic crust. The eclogite-bearing quartzofeldspathic schists form a 30 by 6 kilometer thick, northwest-striking, coherent package. The schists consist of metasediments and felsic intrusives that are intercalated on the tens of meter scale. The presence of phengite and Permian age zircon crystallized under eclogite facies metamorphic conditions indicates that the eclogite was metamorphosed in situ with its quartzofeldspathic host. I investigated the metamorphic evolution of the eclogite-facies rocks in the St. Cyr klippe using isochemical phase equilibrium thermodynamic (pseudosection) modeling. I constructed P-T pseudosections in the system Na2O-K2O-CaO-FeO-O2-MnO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2-H2O for the bulk-rock composition of an eclogite and a host metatonalite. In combination with petrology and mineral compositions, St. Cyr eclogites followed a five-stage clockwise P-T path. Peak pressure conditions for the eclogites and metatonalites reached up to 3.2 GPa, well within the coesite stability field, indicating the eclogites reached ultrahigh-pressure conditions. Decompression during exhumation occurred with a corresponding temperature increase. SHRIMP-RG zircon dating shows that the protolith of the eclogites formed within the Yukon-Tanana terrane during early, continental arc activity, between 364 and 380 Ma, while the metatonalite protolith formed at approximately 334 Ma, during the Little Salmon Cycle of the Klinkit phase of Yukon-Tanana arc activity. Both the eclogites and the metatonalites were then subducted to mantle depths and metamorphosed to ultrahigh-pressure conditions during the late Permian, between 266 and 271 Ma. The results of our study suggest portions of the Yukon-Tanana terrane were subducted to high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure conditions. This is the first report of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism in the accreted terranes of the North American Cordillera. Petrological, geochemical, geochronological, and structural relationships link the eclogites at St. Cyr to other eclogite localities in Yukon, indicating the high-pressure assemblages form a larger lithotectonic unit within the Yukon-Tanana terrane.

Abstract:
From continental macroclimate to microalluvial salt crusts, geology is a dominant factor that influences patterns and processes in the Alaskan boreal forest. In this chapter, we outline important geologic processes as a foundation for subsequent chapters that discuss the soil, hydrology, climate, and biota of the Alaskan boreal forest. We conclude the chapter with a discussion of interior Alaska from a regional perspective. Alaska can be divided into four major physiographic regions. The arctic coastal plain is part of the Interior Plains physiographic division of North America, analogous to the great plains east of the Rocky Mountains. The arctic coastal plain is predominantly alluvium underlaid by hundreds of meters of permafrost, resulting in many thaw lakes and ice wedges. South of the arctic coastal plain lies the Northern Cordillera, an extension of the Rocky Mountain system dominated by the Arctic Foothills, Brooks Range, Baird Mountains, and Delong Mountains. These mountains were glaciated during the Pleistocene. South of the Brooks Range lies interior Alaska, which is an intermontane plateau region analogous to the Great Basin/Colorado Plateau regions. This extensive region is characterized by wide alluvium-covered lowlands such as the Yukon Flats, Tanana Valley, and Yukon Delta, as well as moderate upland hills, domes, and mountains. Largely unglaciated, this region served as a refugium for biota during glacial periods. With the Northern and Southern Cordilleras acting as barriers, the major rivers of this region have long, meandering paths to the Bering Sea. The Southern Cordillera is composed of two mountain ranges: the Alaska Range to the north and the Kenai/Chugach/Wrangell-St. Elias Mountains to the south. The lowland belt between these mountains includes the Susitna and Copper River lowlands. The entire Southern Cordillera was glaciated during the Pleistocene and today has extensive mountain glaciers. Much of Alaska is made up of multiple geologic fragments that have been rafted together by the movements of the major plates called tectonic terranes (Thorson 1986, Connor and O’Haire 1988). Plate-tectonic theory explains such observations as the changing distribution of fossils with geologic time, the deep Aleutian Trench, high Alaskan mountain barriers, and mountain glaciers.
