Abstract

IGCP project 371 COPENA (Structure and Correlation of the Precambrium in NE Europe and the North Atlantic Realm) is a major current research and corre- elation venture in the North Atlantic Region and the European Precambrian craton. In 1997 the annual meeting of COPENA was arranged at the Geological Survey of Norway in Trondheim, Norway.
