Main Tectonic Events and Metallogeny of the North China Craton

This book focuses on the metallogeny and main tectonic
events of the North China Craton from early Precambrian to Phanerozoic. It
covers the Archean crustal growth, Paleoproterozoic
rifting-subduction-collision processes, Great Oxidation Event,
Meso-Neoproterozoic multiple rifting, Phanerozoic reworking of the North China
Craton, as well as metallogeny related to above different processes. The North
China Craton is one of the oldest cratons in the world. It has experienced a
complex geological evolution since the early Precambrian, and carries important
records of secular changes in tectonics and metallogeny. It provides a
systematic review and new results on the growth and evolution of the North
China Craton and metallogeny. It will be of broad interest to the earth
scientists working in the fields of
economic geology, geochemistry, and tectonics of the North China Craton and
eastern Asian.
