A significant number of new palaeomagnetic poles have become available since the last
time a compilation was made (assembled in 2005, published in 2008) to indicate to us that a …

Abstract The Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP) consists of basic rocks emplaced
as shallow intrusions and erupted in large lava flow fields over a land surface area in excess …

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 …

Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …

The end-Triassic extinction is one of the Phanerozoic's largest mass extinctions. This
extinction is typically attributed to climate change associated with degassing of basalt flows …

The end-Triassic extinction is characterized by major losses in both terrestrial and marine
diversity, setting the stage for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 136 million years …

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 …

Plate tectonics constitutes our primary framework for understanding how the Earth works
over geological timescales. High‐resolution map** of relative plate motions based on …

Pangea results from the progressive amalgamation of continental blocks achieved at 320
Ma. Assuming that the ancient concept of “active” versus “passive” rifting remains pertinent …

Along the northern border of Africa, Pangea breakup has been diachronic. During the
Jurassic, the Alpine Tethys propagated northeastward from the Atlantic to the Alps. During …
