The Precambrian Earth, Volume 12: Tempos and Events /by P.G. Eriksson,
Wladyslaw Altermann, D.R. Nelson and W.U. Mueller.In this book the
editors strive to cover all primary (i.e. non-applied) topics in
Precambrian geology in a non-partisan way, by using a large team of
international authors to present their datasets and highly divergent
viewpoints.
The chapters address: celestial origins of Earth and succeeding extraterrestrial impact events; generation of continental crust and the greenstone-granite debate; the interaction of mantle plumes and plate tectonics over Precambrian time; Precambrian volcanism, emphasising komatiite research; evolution and models for Earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere; evolution of life and its influence on Precambrian ocean chemistry and chemical sedimentation; sedimentation through Precambrian time; the application of sequence stratigraphy to the Precambrian rock record. Each topic is introduced and a non-partisan closing commentary provided at the end of each chapter. The final chapter blends the major geological events and rates at which important processes occurred into a synthesis, which postulates a number of "event clusters" in the Precambrian when significant changes occurred in many natural systems and geological environments.
