A review of global environmental mercury processes in response to human and natural perturbations: Changes of emissions, climate, and land use
We review recent progress in our understanding of the global cycling of mercury (Hg),
including best estimates of Hg concentrations and pool sizes in major environmental …

Mercury as a proxy for volcanic emissions in the geologic record
Large igneous province (LIP) eruptions are increasingly considered to have driven mass
extinction events throughout the Phanerozoic; however, uncertainties in radiometric age …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] On the causes of mass extinctions
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 …

How Large Igneous Provinces affect global climate, sometimes cause mass extinctions, and represent natural markers in the geological record
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …

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
Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP), which left an extensive record of sedimentary Hg …

Terrestrial sources as the primary delivery mechanism of mercury to the oceans across the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (Early Jurassic)
This study evaluates the utility of sedimentary mercury (Hg) contents as a proxy for
fingerprinting ancient massive volcanism, which is often associated with biogeochemical …

Evidence for a prolonged Permian–Triassic extinction interval from global marine mercury records
The latest Permian mass extinction, the most devastating biocrisis of the Phanerozoic, has
been widely attributed to eruptions of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province, although …
