Peter Cawood?s research is concerned with the development of continental lithosphere throughout geological
time. He has worked on orogenic systems ranging in age from Archean to Recent from many disparate part of the world including the West
Australian and North China cratons, the Appalachian-Caledonian, Terra Australis and Alpine orogens and modern arc systems in the SW Pacific.
In all cases this has involved careful field studies integrated with a variety of advanced laboratory techniques. His recent work is
focused on the role of accretionary orogens in continental growth through space and time and on the application of detrital zircon analysis
to provenance studies and paleogeographic reconstructions. He is currently director of the Tectonics Special Research Centre, which for
the last decade has worked on unraveling the configuration of pre-Gondwanan supercontinents.

Publisher's Note
As can be seen from the cover of this issue, Precambrian Research now has a new co-Editor-in-Chief,
Professor Wulf Mueller. Professor Mueller succeeds Professor Ken Eriksson who is stepping down for personal reasons. We would like to
take this opportunity to express our most sincere thanks to Professor Eriksson for all the excellent work he has done for the journal.
For those who do not know Professor Mueller personally, the following background information should be of interest. Wulf Mueller
received a BSc. and a MSc. from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He received his Ph.D from the Université de Quebec at Chicoutimi,
Canada, where he has worked since 1992 as a tenured Professor.
His research has generally focused on the evolution of Archean
terranes, especially the Slave Province of northern Canada, the Abitibi greenstone belt, and the Wabigoon Subprovince of the Superior
Province, but also the Paleoproterozoic sequences of southern Greenland and a modern analogue, the Cenozoic of New Zealand. Special emphasis
has been placed on the physical sedimentology and volcanology, as well as the stratigraphy in conjunction with geochemical and tectonic
aspects.
We welcome Professor Mueller and wish him a great deal of success in his new position.
