In recent years, interest in Neoproterozoic glaciations has grown
as their pivotal role in Earth system evolution has become
increasingly clear. One of the main goals of the IGCP Project
number 512 was to produce a synthesis of newly available
information on Neoproterozoic successions worldwide similar in
format to Hambrey & Harlands (1981) Earths pre Pleistocene
Glacial Record. This Memoir therefore consists of a series of
overview chapters followed by site-specific chapters. The overview
chapters cover key topics including the history of research on
Neoproterozoic glaciations, identification of glacial deposits,
chemostratigraphic techniques and datasets, palaeomagnetism,
biostratigraphy, geochronology and climate modelling. The site
specific chapters for 60 successions worldwide include reviews of
the history of research on these rocks and up-to-date syntheses of
the structural framework, tectonic setting, palaeomagnetic and
geochronological constraints, physical, biological, and chemical
stratigraphy, and descriptions of the glaciogenic and associated
strata, including economic deposits.
