Located in the southeastern parts of the BaouléMossi domain of the West African Craton,the Birimian terrane in Ghana is known to consist of predominantly juvenile crust emplaced during the Eburnean orogeny.Here we pr...
The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by active subduction,as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere under its own weight.This is a strong plate-...
Although Plate Tectonics cannot be effectively tested by palaeomagnetism in the Precambrian aeon due to the paucity of high precision poles spanning such a long time period,the possibility of Lid Tectonics is eminentl...

A diverse suite of Archaean gneisses at Huangbaiyu village in the North China Craton, includes rare fuchsite-bearing (Cr-muscovite) siliceous rocks - known as the Caozhuang quartzite. The Caozhuang quartzite is stro...
A systematic review and comparison of the time, sequence, nature, and characteristics of the major geological events of worldwide Archean and Chinese Precambrian and their interrelationships reveals that these events ...
Key steps in atmospheric evolution occurred in the Archaean.The Hadean atmosphere was created by the inorganic processes of volatile accretion from space and degassing from the interior,and then modified by chemical a...
Understanding the structure,composition and survival of Archaean cratons over geological times is critical to model the process of crustal evolution.The South India Broadband Seismic Imaging Experiment was organized t...
Our research covers the granitization and charnockitization processes that affected the metapelitic gneisses in the Central Zone of the Precambrian Limpopo high-grade terrain,South Africa.Precambrian granulite facies ...
