Plume-induced emissions of deep methane linked to the end-Guadalupian mass extinction [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMethane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas, and massive CH4 emissions have the capacity to cause rapid and catastrophic climate effects. Here we report findings of large amounts of CH4 occurring as an important vapor phase in melt inclusions trapped by ...

Atmospheric CO2 drawdown during the Emeishan flood basalt volcanism [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe conventional model linking large igneous provinces (LIPs) to atmospheric CO2 concentrations (pCO2) predicts elevated CO2 during volcanic emplacement, leading to biotic crises. However, this generalization requires testing.

Correspondence: Reply to ‘Numerical modelling of the PERM anomaly and the Emeishan large igneous province’ [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Tectonic plates and plate boundaries migrate substantially through time and mantle plumes are generally accepted to be mobile within the convecting mantle, but it has been proposed that large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) could have been fixed ...

Origin and evolution of the deep thermochemical structure beneath Eurasia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 The Perm anomaly is found in the lower mantle beneath Eurasia, but how this structure formed has remained unclear. Here, the authors show that the anomaly has been mobile since it formed in isolation within a closed subduction network and propose that ...

Research progress and prospect of Emeishan mantle plume metallogenic system
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP) in southwestern China, formed by the Emeishan mantle plume, hosts diverse mineralization systems. This study classifies deposits into two types: those directly and indirectly related to the plume.
