New Developments in the

Appalachian-Caledonian-Variscan Orogen

Edited by Yvette D. Kuiper, J. Brendan Murphy, R. Damian Nance, Robin A. Strachan, and Margaret D. Thompson

New analytical and eld techniques, as well as increased international communication and collaboration, have resulted in
signi cant new geological discoveries within the Appalachian-Caledonian-Variscan orogen. Cross-Atlantic correlations are
more tightly constrained and the database that helps us understand the origins of Gondwanan terranes continues to grow.
Special Paper 554 provides a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of the evolution of this orogen. It takes the
reader along a clockwise path around the North Atlantic Ocean from the U.S. and Canadian Appalachians, to the Caledonides
of Spitsbergen, Scandinavia, Scotland and Ireland, and thence south to the Variscides of Morocco.
