Antarctica—before and after Gondwana
SD Boger - Gondwana Research, 2011 - Elsevier
The origin of the Antarctic continent can be traced to a relatively small late Archaean cratonic
nucleus centred on the Terre Adélie regions of East Antarctica and the Gawler Craton region …

Global record of 1600–700 Ma Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs): implications for the reconstruction of the proposed Nuna (Columbia) and Rodinia supercontinents
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are commonly associated with breakup of continents, and
therefore, are a critical source of information to constrain paleocontinental reconstructions …

Metacraton: nature, genesis and behavior
In this paper, we show with examples that cratons involved in intercontinental collisions in a
lower plate position are often affected by orogenic events, leading to the transformation of …
