Late Archean to Early Paleoproterozoic global tectonics, environmental change and the rise of atmospheric oxygen

Analysis of the tectonostratigraphic records of Late Archean to Early Paleoproterozoic terranes indicates linkage between global tectonics, changing sea levels and environmental conditions. A Late Archean tectonic cycle started at ~2.78 Ga involving the breakup of a pre-existing continent (Vaalbara)...
