Environmental Effects of Volcanic Volatile Fluxes From Subaerial 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.

An olivine-clinopyroxene geothermometer
The olivine-clinopyroxene (Fe-Mg partition) geothermometer of Powell and Powell (1974) was derived on the basis of clinopyroxene mixing parameters which imply a large miscibility gap in CaFeSi2O6-CaMgSi2O6-CaAl2SiO6 clinopyroxenes at 950° C. Application of the Powell and Powell thermometer in an empirical way (ignoring likely errors in mixing ...

Natural Clinopyroxene Reference Materials for in situ Sr Isotopic Analysis via LA-MC-ICP-MS
Clinopyroxene is a major host mineral for lithophile elements in the mantle lithosphere, and therefore, its origin is vital for constraints on mantle evolution and melt generation. In situ Sr isotopic measurement of clinopyroxene has been available since

Retrogression of ultrahigh-pressure eclogite, Western Gneiss Region, Norway [PDF]
The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) in western Norway exposes ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogites that occur repeatedly, within an area of high-pressure (HP) eclogites, without evidence of being separated by tectonic shear or ductile flow structures.

西南日本の熱変成超苦鉄質岩体中のかんらん石と輝石の組成変化に関する覚書 [PDF]
This short article presents some diagrams showing the compositional variations of primary and metamorphic olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene in peridotites and serpentinites from thermally metamorphosed ultramafic complexes in SW Japan. In contrast

Estimation of physicochemical properties and tectonic environment of gabbro masses from south of Germi city (Ardabil province) based on the chemistry of clinopyroxene crystals [PDF]
The studied gabbroic rocks, trending northwest- southeast, outcropped in the south of Germi, northwest of Iran. These rocks composed of plagioclase, clinopyroxene and iddingsitic olivines.

Effects of CO2 flushing on crystal textures and compositions: experimental evidence from recent K trachybasalts erupted at Mt. Etna [PDF]
Changes in magmatic assemblages and crystal stability as a response of CO2 flushing in basaltic systems have been never directly addressed experimentally, making the role of CO2 in magma dynamics still controversial and object of scientific debate.
