Abstract

Results of an integrated geological mapping, geochronological, geochemical and airborne geophysics programme in NE Mozambique bring improved constraints on the sequence of events leading to the assembly of Gondwana along the East African Orogen (see Reference List). From the NW (foreland) to the SE (hinterland), a crustal transect across NE Mozambique shows division into 4 major lithotectonic units.
