The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

HYDRODYNAMICS AND HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN MUSHROOM-SHAPED HEADS OF THERMOCHEMICAL PLUMES
The model of a thermochemical mantle plume is described. The scheme of origination of the plume from the core-mantle boundary is presented. The basic ratios for determining the thermal power and the diameters of thermochemical plumes are given.

Petrography and geochemistry of the Padagi dikes (South of Zahedan, Sistan Suture Zone) [PDF]
Padagi area is located in southern part of Sistan Suture Zone. In this area, the Eocene flysch-like rocks were intruded by Oligocene-Miocene igneous rocks as batholith, dacitic stock and dacitic to andesitic dike.

Exhumation history of eastern Ladakh revealed by Ar-40/Ar-39 and fission-track ages: the Indus River-Tso Morari transect, NW Himalaya [PDF]
Fission-track and Ar-40/Ar-39 ages place time constraints on the exhumation of the North Himalayan nappe stack, the Indus Suture Zone and Molasse, and the Transhimalayan Batholith in eastern Ladakh (NW India).
