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 ...

Correspondence: Numerical modelling of the PERM anomaly and the Emeishan large igneous province [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the result of catastrophic melting in the upper mantle, and by reconstructing their positions over the past 300 Myr it has been shown that most LIPs—including the 260 Myrs old Emeishan LIP in South China—probably originated from plumes at the edges of two large low-velocity regions in the lowermost mantle. In a recent

High temperature methane emissions from Large Igneous Provinces as contributors to late Permian mass extinctions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Methane (CH4) emissions induced by Large Igneous Provinces have the potential to contribute to global environmental changes that triggered mass extinctions in Earth’s history.

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 ...

Mantle Plume‐Lithosphere Interactions Beneath the Emeishan Large Igneous Province
Geophysical Research LettersThe formation of large igneous provinces (LIPs) has been widely believed to be linked to mantle plume activity. However, how the plume modifies the overlying lithosphere, particularly its compositional structure, remains uncertain.

Origins of the hydrothermal dolomites in Middle Permian, Sichuan Basin (SW China): Implication for the relationship with the Emeishan Large Igneous Province. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe Middle Permian dolomites in the Sichuan Basin (SCB) of China include several replacive phases and pore-filling saddle dolomite (Rd3 and Sd). This study investigates the origin of the main hydrothermal phases (Rd3 and Sd), which are composed of medium

Igneous Rock Associations 16. The Late Permian Emeishan Large Igneous Province [PDF]
Geoscience Canada, 2015 The Late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) covers ~0.3x106 km2 of the western margin of the Yangtze Block and Tibetan plateau of SW China with displaced, correlative units in northern Vietnam (Song Da zone).
