Cratonic regions are areas characterized by long-term lithospheric stability that often persists through a significant amount of earth history. However, many studies have shown that cratons can be modified by later tectonic events and in some cases destroyed (e.g., Abdelsalam et al., 2002;Liu et al., 2021;Tang et al., 2013). The study of the deep lithosphere beneath and along craton margins offers the opportunity to understand the processes that can modify and potentially destroy cratons, and to connect these processes with evolution of the lithosphere on the regional scale. This type of study can also offer constraints on volatile fluxes and storage, rheology, and longterm survivability of the subcontinental lithosphere mantle (SCLM), as well as the formation of economically significant mineral deposits within the cratonic lithosphere (
