3.6.6. Specific targets/issues to be addressed on the East European Platform

 

  • Structure and composition of the lithosphere of the EEP
  • The role of different tectonic processes in reworking/modification of the cratonic lithosphere as reflected in its sedimentation record
  • Ancient analogues of modern tectonic processes
  • Thermo-mechanical and compositional reworking of the Archean-Paleoproterozoic lithosphere, particularly pertaining to the subsidence of the Baltic Basin, Devonian rifting related to closure of Paleo-Tethys, and mantle plume impingement on the lithosphere of the EEP
  • Stress regimes at the margins of the EEP, in particular the TESZ and the Caucasus
  • Stress regime in the interior of the EEP (with the New Madrid Seismic Zone as a possible analogue)
