Mantle plumes and their role in Earth processes
The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

Climate-driven shifts in marine species ranges: scaling from organisms to communities
The geographic distributions of marine species are changing rapidly, with leading range
edges following climate poleward, deeper, and in other directions and trailing range edges …

Avoiding ocean mass extinction from climate warming
Global warming threatens marine biota with losses of unknown severity. Here, we quantify
global and local extinction risks in the ocean across a range of climate futures on the basis …

[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 …

An economist's guide to climate change science
This article provides a brief introduction to the physical science of climate change, aimed
towards economists. We begin by describing the physics that controls global climate, how …

Climate change and the past, present, and future of biotic interactions
Biotic interactions drive key ecological and evolutionary processes and mediate ecosystem
responses to climate change. The direction, frequency, and intensity of biotic interactions …

High-precision timeline for Earth's most severe extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction was the most severe loss of marine and terrestrial biota in
the last 542 My. Understanding its cause and the controls on extinction/recovery dynamics …

Coral reef survival under accelerating ocean deoxygenation
Global warming and local eutrophication simultaneously lower oxygen (O2) saturation and
increase biological O2 demands to cause deoxygenation. Tropical shallow waters, and their …

Temperature-dependent hypoxia explains biogeography and severity of end-Permian marine mass extinction
INTRODUCTION Climate change triggered by volcanic greenhouse gases is hypothesized
to have caused the largest mass extinction in Earth's history at the end of the Permian Period …

Sensitivities of extant animal taxa to ocean acidification
Anthropogenic CO2 emitted to the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, causing a
progressive increase in ocean inorganic carbon concentrations and resulting in decreased …
