Building Archean cratons from Hadean mafic crust [PDF]
Science, 2017 Archean cratons get a Hadean mash-up The vast majority of the rock record over Earth's 4.6-billion-year history has been destroyed through subduction and recycling back into the mantle.

Tarim and North China cratons linked to northern Gondwana through switching accretionary tectonics and collisional orogenesis [PDF]
, 2016 Accretionary and collisional orogenesis in the Tarim and North China cratons during Paleozoic time can be correlated with events associated with the assembly and subsequent incipient dispersal of Gondwana.

Thermal regime of sedimentary basins in the Tarim, Upper Yangtze and North China Cratons, China
Earth-Science Reviews, 2021Thermal regime and thermal history are of significant important in basin dynamics and hydrocarbon generation of source rocks. The sedimentary basins in three typical cratons of China, North China Craton (NCC), Yangtze Craton (YC) and Tarim Craton (TC ...

The nature and origin of cratons constrained by their surface geology
GSA Bulletin, 2021To the memory of Nicholas John (Nick) Archibald (1951−2014), master of cratonic geology. Cratons, defined by their resistance to deformation, are guardians of crustal and lithospheric material over billion-year time scales. Archean and Proterozoic rocks

Nature Versus Nurture: Preservation and Destruction of Archean Cratons
, 2021The factors that promote stability of Archean cratons are investigated from a combined geodynamic, geological, and geophysical perspective in order to evaluate the relative importance of nature—the initial conditions of a craton—versus nurture—the ...

Plate tectonics before 2.0 Ga: Evidence from paleomagnetism of cratons within supercontinent Nuna [PDF]
American Journal of Science, 2014 Laurentia, the core of Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna, has remained largely intact since assembly 2.0 to 1.8 billion years ago [Ga]. For earlier times, previous paleomagnetic data on poorly dated Paleoproterozoic mafic intrusions yielded ...

Surface topography as key constraint on thermo-rheological structure of stable cratons [PDF]
, 2013 International audienceWhy some Archean cratons survived for billions of years while the rest of the lithosphere has been reworked, probably for several times, is both enigmatic and fundamental for plate tectonics.
