About IGCP 440 Project
| Amalgamation of the Rodinia Supercontinent is the major geodynamic event during the Mesoproterozoic era. Parts of Rodinia survived until the Mesozoic fragmentation of Pangea; other parts broke up in the Neoproterozoic |  |
 | The record of amalgamation and break-up of Rodinia is preserved in Mesoproterozoic mobile belts and Neoproterozoic basins present at the margins of most Paleoproterozoic cratons. |
The objective of the project is to obtain a robust database and framework for interpretation of the geodynamic evolution of the continental lithosphere during the late Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic. The project is structured to: |
|  |
Determine the configuration of Rodinia and the sequence of events in the amalgamation process;
The foundations for the new project were laid by IGCP Project 288 – "Gondwanaland sutures and fold belts", completed in 1996. |
