Short summary
Stretching over 1000 kilometres along the Arctic margin, the Eurekan Belt illustrates how fault systems shaped the crust of North Greenland. These interconnected fault systems controlled deformation and exhumation before, during, and after mountain building. Using thermochronology and thermal history modelling, we reconstructed their activity and the resulting crustal evolution. Our findings provide crucial constraints for plate reconstructions and Arctic climate models.
