How should terrane assemblages be defined in the northern Appalachian orogen? part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2022 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This abstract page from the 2022 Structure and Tectonics Forum examines the definition of terrane assemblages—Ganderia, Avalonia, and Meguma—in the northern Appalachian orogen, focusing on geological, geochemical, and detrital zircon evidence to assess their Gondwanan affinities and the implications of newly identified NW African basement fragments for terrane boundaries and origins.

A model of subduction of a mid-Paleozoic oceanic ridge - transform fault system in the northern Appalachians: a comparison with modern western North America part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:2016 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This abstract page presents a geological study modeling mid-Paleozoic subduction of an oceanic ridge-transform fault system in the northern Appalachians, drawing parallels with modern western North America's tectonic processes, particularly the San Andreas fault system, emphasizing slab window formation, igneous activity, and dextral fault systems.

Geological Field Research; an Ideal Course 'Recipe' for Advanced Undergraduate and Beginning Graduate Students part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:2014 Structure and Tectonics Forum Abstracts
A content page from the "Teach the Earth" portal details a Geological Field Research course model for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, emphasizing hypothesis-driven fieldwork, geological mapping, structural analysis, collaborative learning, and research proposal development, presented as a structured three-part pedagogical framework by Yvette Kuiper of Colorado School of Mines.
