Archaean crustal evolution in southern West Greenland: A review based on observations in the Buksefjorden region

Thermal, metamorphic and tectonic processes associated with the two major crust-forming events expressed as voluminous generation of Amîtsoq and Nûk tonalitic-granitic gneisses, ca. 3750 Ma and ca. 2800 Ma respectively, in southern West Greenland are reviewed briefly in the light of recent studies in the Buksefjorden region.
