| Session Description | The interior of continents, especially in the stable Precambrian cores and margins, preserves a long tectonic record of continental formation, reworking and destruction. Thanks to world-wide deployments of dense observational networks, recent geophysical constraints and multi-disciplinary models offer new insights through time, which greatly improves our understanding of the events and processes from the past. In this session we invite contributions from, but not limited to, seismology, geodynamics, geology, geochemistry and magnetotellurics pertaining to the investigations of the tectonic history and evolution as well as resource characterization of Precambrian regions. |
