| Scope |
Continental crust is
the key and unique system of the Earth, thus its formation and
growth strongly affect not only dynamics and evolution of the solid
Earth but also climate and biological evolution on the surface.
However, human knowledge is too far from the understanding. Previous
works emphasized that the continental crust has progressively grown
through geologic time. But, recent geology of Archean terranes,
geochemistry of detrital materials and comprehensive study of
subduction zone allow us to build a new concept of true continental
growth. In this session, we welcome wide range topics of geology,
mineralogy, geochemistry, geophysics, experimental petrology and
surface environmental evolution for more comprehensive study of the
continental growth from the Hadean to the present. |
