Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 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.

Dual-layered mantle lithosphere beneath southeastern Canadian Cordillera [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe craton edge beneath southwestern Canada has been characterized as a ‘lithospheric step’ involving the transition from the warm Cordillera to an ancient, mechanically strong North American craton. Using converted shear waves that are sensitive to this

Metallogeny and craton destruction: Records from the North China Craton
Ore Geology Reviews, 2014 Abstract The link between metallogeny and craton destruction in the North China Craton (NCC) remains poorly understood, particularly the mechanisms within the interior of the craton. In this overview, we summarize the major stages in the history of formation and evolution of the NCC, the spatio-temporal distribution and types of major ore species, as

Global Patterns in Cratonic Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuities From Sp Receiver Functions
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The goal of this study is to constrain the origins of layering in the seismic velocity structure within the cratonic mantle lithosphere (i.e. mid‐lithospheric discontinuities [MLDs]).

Minerals, 2022 The pressure-temperature (PT) conditions and position of different groups of eclogites in the sub-cratonic lithospheric mantle (SCLM) worldwide were established using clinopyroxene Jd-Di and garnet thermobarometry. Beneath Siberia, Fe-eclogites found within the 3.0–4.0 GPa formed in Early Archean times.
