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.

Geology and evolution of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (Eastern Iberia)
This paper presents an 1:20,000 geological map and cross-sections of the Cortes de Pallás diapir (eastern Iberia). This structure is located at the junction of the Iberian Chain and the Betic Cordillera, in the northernmost part of the eastern Prebetic ...

Diapirism and topography [PDF]
SUMMARY A new numerical technique using markers and a deformable Lagrangian mesh is used to study the deformation of the surface above a rising diapir. This method allows modelling of a free-surface boundary in a self-consistent way. The method makes it possible to investigate many different problems with non-regular geometry.

Boninite and Harzburgite from Leg 125 (Bonin-Mariana Forearc): A Case Study of Magma Genesis during the Initial Stages of Subduction [PDF]
Holes drilled into the volcanic and ultrabasic basement of the Izu-Ogasawara and Mariana forearc terranes during Leg 125 provide data on some of the earliest lithosphere created after the start of Eocene subduction in the Western Pacific.
