Widening Perspectives: The Intellectual and Social Benefits of Astrobiology, Big History, and the Exploration of Space [PDF]
Journal of Big History, 2019 Astrobiology is the field of science devoted to searching for life elsewhere in the Universe. It is inherently interdisciplinary, integrating results from multiple fields of science, and in this respect has strong synergies with ‘big history’.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 305-323., 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.
