Re-visiting the Barrovian metamorphic rocks of the Isbjørnhamna Group and equivalents (Wedel Jarlsberg Land and Sørkapp Land), RiS ID 11651

Awarded: NOK 73,998

In this project, I am trying to define the tectonometamorphic evolution of the Isbjørnhamna Group and equivalent units in SW Svalbard using modern geothermobarometric and geochronological methods. The hypothesis is that the southern Wedel Jarlsberg Land is an example of a metamorphic core complex and that the Isbjørnhamna Group extends towards the southern Sørkapp Land. A two-week-long fieldwork to collect an additional suite of samples and to take structural measurements is planned for July 2021.
