Contribution of Spitsbergen to Understanding of Tectonic Evolution of North Atlantic Region

The Gander Conference, an International Conference on Stratigraphy and Structure Bearing on the Origin of the North Atlantic Ocean, was held in Gander, Newfoundland, August 1967. The conference gave geologists familiar with the areas bordering the North Atlantic Ocean with an opportunity to present their knowledge and ideas to colleagues dealing with similar rocks and structures. This publication contains most of the papers that were presented at that conference and a few others that were prepared for the sessions.
