Prof. K.V. Wilbert Kehelpannala is currently teaching at the University of Botswana and has over 30 years of experience as an active geoscientist with focus on the application of field geology, structural geology, tectonics, metamorphic geology, and remote sensing to the study of continental crustal evolution and lower crustal processes in Precambrian terrains. Before joining the University of Botswana in 2011, he was a senior researcher at the former Institute of Fundamental Studies, Kandy, Sri Lanka and a visiting senior lecturer at the Department of Geology, University of Peradeniya. He was a visiting professor at the Department of Geosciences, University of Shizuoka, Japan (2006). Prof. Kehelpannala was an associate editor of the Elsevier Journal of African Earth Sciences (2018-2020) and is the recipient of three DAAD (German) and two JSPS (Japan) senior invitation research fellowships.
- Features over 660 full-color photographs representing typical lithologies and associated structural, metamorphic features, and other crustal processes from different Proterozoic orogens
- Highlights the significance of field photographs in advancing new knowledge which may provide pathways for new research
- Covers many important Proterozoic terranes of East Gondwana
- Presents regional geologic maps from each Proterozoic orogen
