Background Environmental contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious
risk for human health. Pollution of the terrestrial environment is particularly important as it is …

Large igneous province (LIP) eruptions are increasingly considered to have driven mass
extinction events throughout the Phanerozoic; however, uncertainties in radiometric age …

Abstract The Mesozoic Era featured emplacement of a number of Large Igneous Provinces
(LIPs), formed by the outpouring of millions of cubic kilometres of basaltic magma. The …

Mercury (Hg) and especially its methylated species (MeHg) are toxic chemicals that
contaminate humans via the consumption of seafood. The most recent UNEP Global …

Despite its relatively minor abundance in magmas (compared with H2O and CO2), sulfur
degassing from volcanoes is of tremendous significance. It can exert substantial influence …

Volcanism is a potentially important natural source of mercury (Hg) to the environment.
However, its impact on the global Hg cycle remains poorly understood despite advances …

Volcanoes are very strong sources of sulphur, acids and other gases, as well as particles,
that are of atmospheric relevance. Some gases only behave as passive tracers, others affect …

Sampling and analyses methods for determining the stable isotopic compositions of Hg in
an active volcanic system were tested and optimized at the volcanic complex of Vulcano …

Volcanism is the largest natural source of mercury (Hg) to the biosphere. However, past Hg
emission estimates have varied by three orders of magnitude. Here, we present an updated …

Abstract Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE 2), during the Cenomanian‐Turonian transition (∼
94 Ma), was the largest perturbation of the global carbon cycle in the mid‐Cretaceous and …
