This project investigates ancient oceanic detachment faults to understand the geological processes of the past. By studying the Thetford Mines Ophiolite in Canada, the project aims to uncover the history of tectonic events and their implications for modern oceanic systems.
It is now recognised that large oceanic detachment faults are fundamentally important along slow-spreading rate portions of the mid-ocean ridge system.
These fault systems have been the target of numerous scientific expeditions leading to a new paradigm of “detachment-mode” spreading.
However, in the modern oceans this style of spreading can only be documented back to 10-12 Ma.
To understand these systems in the deep geological past it is necessary to work on ancient examples of detachment fault…
