Overview
The Neoproterozoic Era, which is divided into Tonian (1,000–720 Ma), Cryogenian (720–635 Ma), and Ediacaran (635–539 Ma) in ascending order, represents the most revolutionary interval in Earth history. It witnessed major super-continental reconfigurations, the deepest ever glacial freeze, some of the most anomalous geochemical perturbations, and a profound ecological transition in marine ecosystem.
Recently, emerging data of paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, and geochemistry shed fresh light on better understanding of the Neoproterozoic Earth and life system. This thematic volume will be dedicated to present such appealing research updates that investigate various proxies of the Neoproterozoic biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and the links between the evolution of biosphere, oceanic and atmospheric redox condition, climate, and tectonics of the Neoproterozoic at various temporal and spatial scales.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts on various topics, including (but not limited to) advances in the breakup of Rodinia in the Tonian; sedimentary and chemical evolution of the Cryogenian Snowball Earth events; new constraints on the Neoproterozoic atmospheric oxygenation; climatic change and marine redox variation near the Shuram Excursion; the evolution of Ediacaran seawater and volcanic activities; eukaryotic diversity and the ecological interactions between algae and animals in the Ediacaran oceans. The collection of this volume will highlight the dynamic relationship between biotic and abiotic changes in the Neoproterozoic.
