Synopsis The Geology of the Antigonish Highlands, Nova Scotia by : J. B. Murphy
The purpose of this study is to re-examine the geology of the Antigonish Highlands. This involves: 1) mapping the distribution of the pre-Upper Devonian rocks of the Antigonish Highlands; 2) determining the stratigraphic sequence; 3) analyzing the structural and metamorphic histories; 4) describing the geochemistry and evaluating the petro-genesis of the igneous rocks; 5) determining the tectonic history of the highlands and evaluating its role in the evolution of the Appalachian Orogenic Belt; 6) evaluating the economic potential of the highlands.

Synopsis Geology of the Eastern Cobequid Highlands, Nova Scotia by : J. B. Murphy
The Cobequid Highlands of Nova Scotia lie within the Avalon composite terrane of the Appalachian Orogen. This report presents a description & interpretation of the field, structural, and laboratory studies of pre-Carboniferous rocks of the eastern part of the Highlands based on mapping at 1:10,000 scale. It includes information on the Precambrian & Palaeozoic sedimentary, volcanic, & plutonic rocks; geochemistry of selected rocks; uranium-lead age determinations; and structural geology, including deformation histories & faults. Correlations with rocks in the Antigonish Highlands are also discussed.

Synopsis Geology of the Appalachian—Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland by : Harold Williams
This volume focuses on the Canadian Appalachian region. The chapter on the East Greenland Caledonides stands alone and there is no attempt to integrate the geological accounts of the two far removed regions. Rocks of the Canadian Appalachian region are described under four broad temporal divisions: lower Paleozoic and older, middle Paleozoic, upper Paleozoic, and Mesozoic. The rocks of these temporal divisions define geographic zones, belts, basins, and graben, respectively. The area is of special interest because so many modern concepts of mountain building are based on Appalachian rocks & structures.

Synopsis Supercontinents, Orogenesis and Magmatism by : R.D. Nance
This volume is a tribute to the career of J. Brendan Murphy and features papers by over 100 authors from countries all over the world: a testament to the high-profile and far-reaching influence of Brendan’s work. The topics covered fall into three broad categories that encompass Brendan’s main fields of influence: (1) supercontinents and the supercontinent cycle, including reconstructions and modelling; (2) orogenesis and terranes, with a focus on the Appalachian–Variscan and Central Asian orogenic belts and the oceans with which they are associated; and (2) magmatism and magmatic processes, centring on the geochemistry and isotopic compositions of magmas in arc and rift setting. Like Brendan’s own research, the scope of the papers spans the globe and ranges from strongly field-based studies to conceptual analyses. All of the articles, however, are focused on unravelling some critical aspect of geology or aimed at clarifying some crucial geological process. Hence, they also share a theme common to Brendan’s many contributions in emphasizing the importance of process-oriented research.

Synopsis The Nature of Magmatism in the Appalachian Orogen by : A. Krishna Sinha
The thermal evolution of mountain belts is recorded inthe distribution, origin and ages of magnatism. In this volume, petrologic, isotopic and geochemical evidence is presented to highlight the contribution of igneous rocks to the evolution of the Appalachian Orogen in both Canada and the United States. These papers emphasize the use of modern geochemical and petrologic data to discriminate the sources yielding magmas, and thus the nature of the crust and mantle.

Synopsis The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada by : Andrew Miall
The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. - Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada - Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps - Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry
