The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Medieval Irish Chronicles Reveal Persistent Volcanic Forcing of Severe Winter Cold Events, 431–1649 CE [PDF]
Explosive volcanism resulting in stratospheric injection of sulfate aerosol is a major driver of regional to global climatic variability on interannual and longer timescales. However, much of our knowledge of the climatic impact of volcanism derives from

Models of explosive volcanism [PDF]
Abstract. We describe a series of models which illustrate the controls upon the evolution of an erupting mixture of ash and gas during an explosive volcanic eruption. For large eruption rates, material typically issues from a crater as a supersonic jet which may entrain and heat sufficient air to become buoyant and form a Plinian eruption column.

Recurrence rates of explosive volcanism in paleo-equatorial Pangaea, and implications for climate near the peak late Paleozoic ice age. [PDF]
The continental Brousse-Broquiès basin (Massif Central, France) preserves a well-exposed section of upper Carboniferous pyroclastic-volcaniclastic lacustrine strata.

High-Abundance Heterotrophic Bacteria Inhabit the 85° E Hydrothermal Plume of the Explosive Volcanic Zone at Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean. [PDF]
While under-ice submarine hydrothermal systems provide critical insights into extremophile adaptations, the ecological impacts of explosive volcanism on these ecosystems remain poorly constrained.

Past penguin colony responses to explosive volcanism on the Antarctic Peninsula. [PDF]
Changes in penguin populations on the Antarctic Peninsula in recent decades have been linked to environmental factors such as sea ice. Here, the authors show that penguin colony change on Ardley Island, NW Antarctic Peninsula during the last 8,500 years ...

Precipitation induced by explosive volcanism on Mars and its implications for unexpected equatorial ice. [PDF]
Explosive volcanism occurred on Mars during its early history (Noachian–Hesperian; ~4.1–3.0 Ga). Because of Mars’ cold atmospheric temperatures, water released from explosive eruptions may precipitate as ice or ice-ash aggregates.

Multilayer modelling of waves generated by explosive subaqueous volcanism [PDF]
Theoretical source models of underwater explosions are often applied in studying tsunami hazards associated with subaqueous volcanism; however, their use in numerical codes based on the shallow water equations can neglect the significant dispersion of ...

Deep Learning Investigation of Mercury’s Explosive Volcanism
The remnants of explosive volcanism on Mercury have been observed in the form of vents and pyroclastic deposits, termed faculae, using data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) onboard the Mercury surface, space ...
