Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces
reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces …

We review available data constraining the extent, volume, age and duration of all major
Phanerozoic continental flood basalts (CFB or traps) and oceanic plateaus (OP), together …

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 …

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 …

We present new high-precision 40Ar/39Ar ages on feldspar and biotite separates to
establish the age, duration and extent of the larger Siberian Traps volcanic province …

The Siberian flood-volcanic event is the most voluminous and explosive, continental,
volcanic event known in the Phanerozoic record. U–Pb perovskite and zircon ages were …

The association of hotspots and flood basalts has long been recognized [eg, Morgan, 1971].
Fluid-dynamic models [eg, Griffiths, 1986; Griffiths and Campbell, 1990] have produced a …

Estimates of CO2 emissions at spreading centres, convergent margins, and plumes have
been reviewed and upgraded using observed CO2/3He ratios in magmatic volatiles, 3He …

The Permian-Triassic boundary records the most severe mass extinctions in Earth's history.
Siberian flood volcanism, the most profuse known such subaerial event, produced 2 million …

The mass extinction at the end of the Permian was the most profound in the history of life.
Fundamental to understanding its cause is determining the tempo and duration of the …
