Formation and evolution of Archaean cratons insights from southern Africa... 

The Kaapvaal Project was vmdertaken to study the formation, stabilization and evolution of cratons, and to image the deep structure of the tectosphere (Carlson et al. 1996) (see also http // www.ciw.edu/kaapvaal for participants and a description of the project). A cornerstone of the Kaapvaal Project was a large-scale broadband seismic experiment designed specifically for geo-logical-scale imaging of the crust and upper mantle beneath the cratons and adjacent Proterozoic provinces of southern Africa (Fig. 1).
