Secular evolution of continents and the Earth system
Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and
mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range …

Multi-stage crustal growth and Neoarchean geodynamics in the Eastern Dharwar Craton, southern India
Abstract The Dharwar Craton is a composite Archean cratonic collage that preserves
important records of crustal evolution on the early Earth. Here we present results from a …

Large igneous province record through time and implications for secular environmental changes and geological time‐scale boundaries
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver
of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …

Mantle plume-triggered rifting closely following Neoarchean cratonization revealed by 2.50–2.20 Ga magmatism across North China Craton
Y Zhou, M Zhai - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
The Earth experienced fundamental tectonic transformation and paleoclimatic upheavals
during the early Paleoproterozoic (2.50–2.20 Ga). However, the tectonic framework of this …
