Abstract

This Ph.D. thesis investigates Earth’s dynamic evolution through geological time by addressing possible linkages between the evolution of the Earth’s mantle and crustal growth, plate tectonics, and superplume-supercontinental cycles. This is achieved through deciphering the geochemical records of mantle-derived/related rocks that characterised the Earth’s mantle evolution and processes at global-, regional- and micro- to nano-scales.
