Changes in orogenic style and surface environment recorded in Paleoproterozoic foreland successions [PDF]
The Earth’s interior and surficial systems underwent dramatic changes during the Paleoproterozoic, but the interaction between them remains poorly understood. Rocks deposited in orogenic foreland basins retain a record of the near surface to deep crustal
