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

Differential Craton Destruction Controlled by Fossil Structures in the Central North China Craton
Geophysical Research LettersCraton evolution plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the continental lithosphere and the long‐term evolution of Earth's surface environment. The Shanxi Rift Zone (SRZ) within the North China Craton marks an ongoing craton destruction.

, 2020 The North China Craton (NCC) hosts some of the world-class gold deposits that formed more than 2 billion years after the major orogenic cycles and cratonization. The diverse models for the genesis of these deposits remain equivocal, and mostly focused on

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2021 In modern concepts, the upper mantle of the Earth is a highly viscous incompressible liquid, and its flow is described using the Navier – Stokes equations in the Oberbeck – Boussinesq and geodynamic approximations.

The Architecture and Evolution of the Singhbhum Craton
Episodes, 2020 The Singhbhum Craton is built up by successive pulses of discrete granitic magmatism at ~3.52 Ga, ~3.47-3.43 Ga, and ~3.40-3.35 Ga that produced tonalitetrondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG)-type suites and were followed by younger pulses at 3.32-3.35 Ga, and ...

Aulacogens, the Donets Basin (Eastern Ukraine, Southwestern Russia), and the new classification of rifts: Towards a proper terminology [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2012 Some intra-cratonic basins are traditionally called “aulacogens”. This term has persisted in the geoscience literature since its invention by Soviet geologists in the mid-20th century before the triumph of the plate tectonics, but its meaning ...
