There is currently a renewed interest in the early Earth, and the Kaapvaal craton has long served as a model for early crustal evolution. This unique multidisciplinary resource features information on geology, tectonics, geochemistry, and geochronology. It offers a wealth of new data on various aspects of the craton as well as contributions on the various crustal units by international specialists.Regional Geology Reviews,2364-6438Structural geologyGeochemistryMineral resourcesGeophysicsStructural geology.Geochemistry.Mineral resources.Geophysics.551.8Kröner AlfredHofmann AxelBOOK9910337919403321The Archaean geology of the Kaapvaal Craton, Southern Africa2253279UNINA
