Professor Hannes Brueckner of CUNY GC EES, Queens College and LDEO first authored an article in the Journal of Geology entitled: An Orphaned Baltic Terrane in the Greenland Caledonides: A Sm-Nd and Detrital Zircon Study of a High-Pressure/Ultrahigh-Pressure Complex in Liverpool Land. Abstract: Liverpool Land, at the southern tip of the Greenland Caledonides, exposes a composite metamorphic terrane: the midcrustal granulite-facies Jaettedal Complex tectonically juxtaposed against the eclogite-facies, peridotite-bearing Tvaerdal Complex. The Jaettedal Complex is a Laurentian terrane, whereas the Tvaerdal Complex was proposed by earlier investigators to be a Baltic terrane. PT estimates (880°–920°C at 35–40 kbar) and Sm-Nd mineral …
