The island of Holsnøy, just to the north of the city of Bergen, is dominated by granulite facies Svecconorwegian (ca 1000 Ma) anorthosites. This area is a focus of research as the granulite facies rocks have been overprinted by eclogite facies assemblages that seem to be related to deformation and the development of both pseudotachylites and shear zones. This overprinting is inferred to have occurred during the Caledonian orogeny at ca 450 Ma when these rocks were subducted below Laurentia. These rocks have been long studied by Håkon Austrheim and his colleagues and the results of their work have been applied to how the lower crust behaves when it is infiltrated by fluids.
More recently our group has been funded by the Australian Research Council to look at this system with a view to applying our findings to aid in the interpretation of geophysical imagery of the lower crust in an Australian setting. Sometimes we have to go to where the rocks are exposed (wherever that is globally) to understand the rock systems that are beneath our feet in Australia.
