The Palaeoproterozoic era (2500-1600 Ma) is a critical period of Earth history, with dynamic evolution from the deep planetary interior to its surface environment. Several lines of geological evidence suggest the existence of at least one pre-Rodinia supercontinent, named Nuna or Columbia, which formed near the end of Palaeoproterozoic time. Prior to this assembly, there may have been an older supercontinent (Kenorland) or perhaps only independently drifting supercratons. The tectonic records of amalgamation and dispersal of these ancient landmasses provide a framework that links processes of the deep Earth with those of its fluid envelope. The sixteen papers in this volume present reviews and new analytical data that span the geological record of Palaeoproterozoic Earth. The volume is useful as a reference book for students and professional geoscientists interested in this important period of global evolution.

Index
25.11.2019
In the 16 papers, in this volume are traced various tectonic records of amalgamation and dispersal of such ancient landmasses. That makes this volume a useful reference book for students and professional geoscientists on a rapidly growing new field of knowledge. As such it is warmly recommended.
………… excellent quality regarding both presentation and
information. Authors and editors jointly created a work with good readability. The book is
therefore valuable for all advanced undergraduate and graduate students of Precambrian
geology, as well as for researchers of the Proterozoic.University and college libraries alike
will find the volume useful to demonstrate the significance of integrated approaches from the
various geoscience disciplines
