Significant advances elucidating the deep structure of the Labrador continental margin (Keen et al, 1994;Chian et al, 1995a, b;Srivastava and Roest, 1999;Funck et al, 2007;Gerlings et al, 2009) have been pivotal in documenting the complex structure and tectonic evolution of the Labrador Sea region and that of non-volcanic margins globally (Peron-Pinvidic and Manatschal, 2008;Reston, 2009). In addition, the Labrador Sea provides an important oceanographic connection between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.…”
