Description:
Precambrian Research publishes studies on all aspects of the early stages of the
composition,
structure and
evolution
of the
Earth and its planetary neighbours. It covers, but is not restricted to, subjects such as:
(1) Chemical, biological,
biochemical and cosmochemical evolution; the
origin of life; the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere; the
early fossil record;
palaeobiology;
(2)
Geochronology and isotope and elemental
geochemistry;
(3)
Precambrian mineral
deposits;
(4)
Geophysical aspects of the early Earth and Precambrian
terrains;
(5) Nature and evolution of
the Precambrian
lithosphere and
mantle including magmatic, depositional, metamorphic and tectonic processes.
In addition,
the
editors particularly welcome
integrated process-oriented studies that involve a combination of the above fields and comparative studies that demonstrate the effect
of Precambrian evolution on
Phanerozoic earth system processes.
