The longevity of cratons usually implies that the entire cratonic lithosphere remained unchanged over billions of years,which is traditionally attributed to their intrinsically buoyant and strong lithospheric roots.By...
Geological Survey of India,Northern Region have provided the financial funding for the study.
Background The Bundelkhand Craton is significant for preserving the multiphase granitoids magmatism from Paleoarchean to Neoarchean periods.It consists of a variety of granite rocks,including TTGs,sanukitoids,and high...
Metasedimentary rocks of the Banfora belt are examined for their petrography geochemistry and genesis. The main formations are pelite metapelites sandstone, and metagraywackes. The first ones show a fine interlocking ...

Refractory lithospheric deep roots are the cornerstone for the prolonged stability of cratons and mantle xenoliths are normally the key targets for study on the evolution of such deep roots. In regions with few mantle...
Our work on the carbon cycle is funded by the Australian Research Council(FL180100134 to S.F.F.and DP210101268 to D.E.J.).
Recent advances indicate that the amount of carbon released by gradual degassing from the mantle needs to be revised upwards, whereas the carbon supplied by plumes may have been overestimated in the past. Variations i...

Geological maps encode vast amounts of data about rock types,ages,chemistry,orogenic architecture and deep-time history or different tectonic units,yet these are often difficult to extract because of the way different...

The phase of secular evolution of continents is manifested as the degree of compositional differentiation,modification and maturation of continental crusts,which is vital in understanding the mechanism of continental ...
The Mesoproterozoic(1.11 Ga)Umkondo large igneous province(LIP)in southern Africa and Antarctica was emplaced in<5 Myr and is dominated by low-Ti tholeiitic doleritic-gabbroic sills.It is of particular interest becaus...
