Earth's present-day environments are the outcome of a 4.5 billion
year period of evolution reflecting the interaction of global-scale
geological and biological processes punctuated by several
extraordinary events and episodes that perturbed the entire Earth
system. One of the earliest and arguably greatest of these events
was a substantial increase (orders of magnitude) in the atmospheric
oxygen abundance, sometimes referred to as the Great Oxidation
Event. Volume 1: The Palaeoproterozoic of Fennoscandia as Context
for the Fennoscandian Arctic Russia - Drilling Earth Project
describes the implementation of the FAR-DEEP drilling project in
Arctic Russia. It summarises the knowledge of more than 50 years of
largely Russian-led fieldwork, information hitherto virtually
unavailable in the west, and provides geological description of
drilling areas with an overwhelming illustration of rocks by
high-quality, representative photographs. The volume offers a
comprehensive review and rich photo-illustration of palaeotectonic,
palaeogeographic and magmatic evolution of the Fennoscandian Shield
in the early Palaeoproterozoic, and link the evolution of the
shield to the emergence of an aerobic Earth system. The volume
unfolds the event-based Fennoscandian chronostratigraphy and
discusses the chronology of the Palaeoproterozoic global events as
the base for a new subdivision of Palaeoproterozoic time. Welcome
to the illustrative journey through one of the most exciting
periods of planet Earth!
