Abstract The Late Ordovician (Katian-Hirnantian) through earliest Silurian (Rhuddanian)
interval was a time of varying climate and sea level, marked by a peak glacial episode in the …

The mass extinction event that occurred at the close of the Permian Period (~ 252 million
years ago) represents the most severe biodiversity loss in the ocean of the Phanerozoic. The …

The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known.
Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous …

This report is published as one of a series of technical inputs to the National Climate
Assessment (NCA) 2013 report. The NCA is being conducted under the auspices of the …

Extreme warming at the end-Permian induced profound changes in marine biogeochemical
cycling and animal habitability, leading to the largest metazoan extinction in Earth's history …

Industrialization has raised the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere
by half since 1770, posing a risk from ocean acidification to global biodiversity, including …

On geological time-scales, the production and degree of recycling of biogenic carbon in the
marine realm and ultimately its removal to sediments, exerts a dominant control on …

This study focuses on the middle–late Permian bauxite deposits found within karstic
depressions and sinkholes of carbonates of the Ruteh and Nessen Formations …

Abstract The Ordovician‐Silurian transition (∼ 455–430 Ma) is characterized by repeated
climatic perturbations, concomitant with major changes in the global oceanic redox state …
