| Summary: | 152damental understanding of the conditions of melt generation in the mantle and of the relationship between the erupted products and the ancestral Iceland plume are central to achieving this goal. The south-east Greenland Margin was deemed unique for such studies in view of the well-resolved seaward-dipping reflector sequence (SDRS) present along the continental margin and the remote position of the drilling transect relative to the inferred axis of the plume (Larsen, Saunders, Clift, et al., 1994). The prevailing working model for early Tertiary magmatism in the North Atlantic relies on the Iceland hot spot (e.g., White et al. |
