Mineralogical, Geochemical, and Isotope for Igneous Intrusions and Metamorphic Rocks of Siberian Craton

Dear Colleagues,

The Siberian Craton is one of the main structures of North Asia and the Eurasian Plate. The formation of its basement has a long history in the Archean and Paleoproterozoic. During the Mesoproterozoic, most of the Siberian Craton, with the exception of the Aldan and Anabar shields, was overlapped by marine sediments, and tectonic activity at the margins began in the late Neoproterozoic and continued in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic with the formation of accretion and collision orogens. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics related to the problem of the formation of magmatic and metamorphic complexes of the Siberian Craton at different stages of its evolution. For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to present new petrological, mineralogical and geochemical data related to the formation of the basement of the Siberian Сraton and the orogenic belts at its margins.
