New Microcontinent Discovered Off West Greenland
Summary: Scientists have discovered a hidden microcontinent, named the Davis Strait proto-microcontinent, in the Davis Strait west of Greenland. Formed during the Paleogene period (33-61 million years ago), this microcontinent reveals complex tectonic movements. The research, conducted by Luke Longley, Dr. Jordan Phethean, and Dr. Christian Schiffer, involved analyzing gravity and seismic reflection data to understand the formation of this unique geological feature. The discovery enhances our understanding of plate tectonics and geological history, highlighting the importance of continued research in tectonically active regions.
