A tale of two cratons : the slave-kaapvaal workshop

Given the established nature of geoscientific knowledge of the Kaapvaal craton compared to the Slave craton, scientists working on both cratons were brought together in a workshop to compare and contrast the nature of these two cratons. This title includes 24 of the 54 papers presented at the workshop.
