Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The Nature of the Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Boundary [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 AbstractPlate tectonic theory was developed 50 years ago and underpins most of our understanding of Earth's evolution. The theory explains observations of magnetic lineations on the seafloor, linear volcanic island chains, large transform fault systems, and deep earthquakes near deep sea trenches.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 The oceanic lithosphere is a primary component of the plate tectonic system, yet its evolution and its asthenospheric interaction have rarely been quantified by in situ imaging at slow spreading systems.

Seismic anisotropy across Adria plate, from the Apennines to the Dinarides
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Adria microplate has the particular feature to be involved in two subduction systems with slab dipping in opposite directions, one toward west beneath the Apennines and the other to the east beneath the Dinarides.

Influence of the asthenosphere on earth dynamics and evolution
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractThe existence of a thin, weak asthenospheric layer beneath Earth’s lithospheric plates is consistent with existing geological and geophysical constraints, including Pleistocene glacio-isostatic adjustment, modeling of gravity anomalies, studies of seismic anisotropy, and post-seismic rebound.

Rifts, orogens, cratons, and global tectonics: Introduction
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2017 A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions.
