This book is the first contribution to the overview of Precambrian geology of China.

This work will also be of interest to geologists concerned with the problems of structure and evolution of the Precambrian continents and supercontinents.

Researchers, academics and students in geology (especially Precambrian Geology), geomorphology, geophysics and geological engineering will benefit from using this book in applying tectonic models to other cratonic blocks globally, and will ...

The proceedings of the 30th International Geological Congress held in Beijing, China in August 1997. This volume focuses on Precambrian geology and metamorphic petrology.

Therefore this book will be of value to anyone interested in the evolution of cratonic blocks and Precambrian geology.

Precambrian Crustal Evolution of China integrates the theory of plate tectonics, structural geology and petrology to identify the tectonic and metamorphic environment in different stages of development of the Archaean and Proterozoic crust.

This book focuses on the metallogeny and main tectonic events of the North China Craton from early Precambrian to Phanerozoic.
