Project title:听 Towards a modern plate tectonic style about 700 Myrs ago?
Project objectives:
The project is about studying the links between the surface and mantle dynamic processes during the Neoproterozoic and testing whether a major change in plate tectonics occurred during this time. The three main work packages are:
1. Acquisition of new paleomagnetic data and determination of the nature of paleomagnetic changes
2. Elaboration of a global tectonic plate model from 750 to 500 Ma
3. Test of the hypothesis of transition towards a continuous plate tectonic regime
