Environmental crises at the Permian–Triassic mass extinction
The link between the Permian–Triassic mass extinction (252 million years ago) and the
emplacement of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP) was first proposed in …

Theory and classification of mass extinction causation
Theory regarding the causation of mass extinctions is in need of systematization, which is
the focus of this contribution. Every mass extinction has both an ultimate cause, ie the trigger …

Intensified continental chemical weathering and carbon-cycle perturbations linked to volcanism during the Triassic–Jurassic transition
Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary
successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes …

Large igneous province record through time and implications for secular environmental changes and geological time‐scale boundaries
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver
of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …

Felsic volcanism as a factor driving the end-Permian mass extinction
The Siberian Traps large igneous province (STLIP) is commonly invoked as the primary
driver of global environmental changes that triggered the end-Permian mass extinction …

Mercury evidence for combustion of organic-rich sediments during the end-Triassic crisis
The sources of isotopically light carbon released during the end-Triassic mass extinction
remain in debate. Here, we use mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes from a pelagic …

Sedimentary host phases of mercury (Hg) and implications for use of Hg as a volcanic proxy
Mercury (Hg) concentration enrichments have become a widely used proxy for volcanic
inputs to sediments, especially for investigation of ancient large igneous province (LIP) …

Mercury evidence from southern Pangea terrestrial sections for end-Permian global volcanic effects
The latest Permian mass extinction (LPME) was triggered by magmatism of the Siberian

Recurrent photic zone euxinia limited ocean oxygenation and animal evolution during the Ediacaran
Abstract The Ediacaran Period (~ 635–539 Ma) is marked by the emergence and
diversification of complex metazoans linked to ocean redox changes, but the processes and …
