Synopsis

The authors of the 16 papers in this collection offer reviews and new data from the geological record of Earth during the Palaeoproterozoic era to illustrate the status of current research. The era was a critical time in Earth's development with significant evolution from the planetary interior to its surface. Geologic evidence points to the creation of at least one pre-Rodinia supercontinent near the end of the Palaeoproterozoic era. A sampling of topics includes: Palaeoproterozoic supercontinents and global evolution, the Columbia connection in North China, and timing and duration of Palaeoproterozoic events producing ore-bearing layered in intrusions of the Baltic Shield. The book is intended to be used as a reference by students and geoscientists. Editors Reddy (Curtin U. of Technology, Australia), Mazumder (Indian Statistical Institute, India), Evans (Yale U.), Collins (Adelaide U. Australia), and almost 60 co-authors contributed to the book. Distributed in the U.S. by The Geological Society. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
