Abstract
The Pan-African Damara Orogen in Namibia has, during the past 11 years, been the object of multidisciplinary studies aimed at elucidating the geodynamic development of the well-exposed intracontinental branch of this fold belt. It is the purpose of this overview to provide a guide to these investigations. The problems raised by previous work are set out.
The results of the sedimentological, structural, petrological, geochemical and geophysical investigations are shortly reviewed and discussed with respect to some of the problems posed by the geosynclinal, structural, metamorphic and magmatic development of the orogen. The different geodynamic models which have been proposed in the course of these studies are mentioned. A discussion of these models is given by Martin, this vol.
