East European craton

Burial and exhumation of the western border of the Ukrainian Shield (Podolia). A multi-disciplinary approach

The Podolia region is located along the western border of the Eastern European Craton, which is also
known as Ukrainian Shield. From the Ordovician to the Miocene, this area formed part of an epicontinental
basin system. In order to investigate the effects of orogenic cycles occurring along the plate
margin, a multi-disciplinary approach was used in this study. Paleotemperature analysis and low temperature
thermochronometry were combined with stratigraphic data to obtain a burial model for
