Dante Canil, School Earth & Ocean Sciences, University of Victoria, PO Box 3055 STN CSC, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 3P6, Canada. Pages 4-11.How did the continents first form, and how have they evolved?For answers to these fundamental earth science questions, we have to look to the ancient cratons that lie at the heart of many of today's continents.The stable heart of the North American continent is the Canadian Shield, an ancient craton that includes the oldest continental crust on Earth.The Canadian Shield is rich with mineral deposits, including diamonds, and is underpinned by a 200-km-thick keel of cold, strong mantle.In the June GSA Today, Dante Canil of the University of Victoria-British Columbia presents an extensive compilation of geological and geophysical data that shows that this mantle keel consists of rocks that originally lay at the base of the primordial seas that covered the early Earth.Even more surprising is his assertion that this durable keel, which is largely responsible for the longevity and the stability of the continent, didn't develop until 500 to 1000 million years after the formation of the craton. -

Dr. Canil's main interest is petrology (the "materials science of the Earth"). His research is largely directed at knowing and understanding the deeper Earth system. -
