Stratigraphy and correlations in Deccan Volcanic Province, India: quo vadis?
VS Kale, G Dole, P Shandilya, K Pande - GSA Bulletin, 2020 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Abstract The Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) is significant for its eruption close to

State shift in Deccan volcanism at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, possibly induced by impact
Bolide impact and flood volcanism compete as leading candidates for the cause of terminal-
Cretaceous mass extinctions. High-precision 40Ar/39Ar data indicate that these two …

Quantifying chemical weathering intensity and trace element release from two contrasting basalt profiles, Deccan Traps, India
Weathering profiles developed on basalt substrate contain information relevant to climate,
atmospheric composition and evolution, nutrient release into the hydrosphere, and …

Pre- and Postinvasion Defenses Both Contribute to Nonhost Resistance in Arabidopsis
Nonhost resistance describes the immunity of an entire plant species against nonadapted
pathogen species. We report that Arabidopsis PEN2 restricts pathogen entry of two …

40K–40Ar dating of the Main Deccan large igneous province: Further evidence of KTB age and short duration
Most mass extinctions coincide in time with outpourings of continental flood basalts (CFB).
Some 20 years ago, it was shown [Courtillot, V., Besse, J., Vandamme, D., Montigny, R …

Volatile fluxes during flood basalt eruptions and potential effects on the global environment: A Deccan perspective
We examine the role that flood basalt eruptions may have played during times of mass
extinction through the release of volcanic gases. Continental flood basalt provinces have …
