Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a continuum of voluminous iron and magnesium rich
rock emplacements which include continental flood basalts and associated intrusive rocks …

Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces
reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces …

ONE of the ecological tenets justifying conservation of biodiversity is that diversity begets
stability. Impacts of biodiversity on population dynamics and ecosystem functioning have …

Abstract Most magmatic Ni–Cu–PGE sulphide deposits occur within long-lived magma
pathways fed by high degree partial melts of the mantle. Holistic mineral-system analysis for …

Much has been learned about Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their database greatly
expanded since their first formal categorization in the early 1990s. This progress provides an …

Large igneous provinces are exceptional intraplate igneous events throughout Earth's
history. Their significance and potential global impact are related to the total volume of …

Plate tectonic reconstructions for the Cretaceous have assumed that the major continental
blocks—Eurasia, Greenland, North America, South America, Africa, India, Australia, and …

Estimates of CO2 emissions at spreading centres, convergent margins, and plumes have
been reviewed and upgraded using observed CO2/3He ratios in magmatic volatiles, 3He …

Subduction initiation is one of the main unsolved issues in plate tectonics theory with
different proposed mechanisms. In the arc (plateau, terrane)-continent collision models, a …
