The geology of southeastern Alaska and coastal British Columbia has played a pivotal role in the recognition of terranes and the growth of the terrane concept, and the Coast Mountains in particular include some important and controversial terrane boundaries. This volume provides an overview of the accretionary and post-accretionary processes that occurred along these terrane boundaries in the western Coast Mountains between Skagway, Alaska, and Bella Coola, British Columbia. The authors use lithologic, geochemical, and isotopic data to correlate tectonostratigraphic packages separated by faults; use structural relations and ages of intrusions to suggest the timing of terrane accretion and the displacement history for shear zones and sutures; and use pressure-temperature-time data and modeling to constrain explanations for metamorphism. By emphasizing geochronologic, structural, stratigraphic, and petrologic data and interpretations, this volume delivers a comprehensive look at the Coast Mountains orogen.
