Review of sea-level changes during the big five mass extinctions and several lesser
extinction events reveals that the majority coincide with large eustatic inflexions. The degree …

The Palaeozoic–Mesozoic transition is marked by distinct perturbations in the global carbon
cycle resulting in a prominent negative carbon-isotope excursion at the Permian–Triassic (P …

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 …

Data on rocks from Spitsbergen and the equatorial sections of Italy and Slovenia indicate
that the world's oceans became anoxic at both low and high paleolatitudes in the Late …

The first book to review all the evidence concerning both the dinosaur extinctions and all the
other major extinctions-of plant, animal, terrestrial, and marine life-in the history of life. All the …

Two Permian/Triassic boundary sections in central Japan provide a rare window into
environmental conditions within the Panthalassic Ocean, which encompassed more than …

Pelagic cherts of Japan and British Columbia, Canada, recorded a long-term and worldwide
deep-sea anoxic (oxygen-depleted) event across the Permo-Triassic (or Paleozoic and …

The repeated association during the late Neoproterozoic Era of large carbon-isotopic
excursions, continental glaciation, and stratigraphically anomalous carbonate precipitation …

Ancient accretionary wedges have been recognised by the presence of glaucophane schist,
radiolarian chert and mélange. Recent techniques for the reconstruction of disrupted …
