Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
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.

Reconstructing the plinian and co-ignimbrite sources of large volcanic eruptions: A novel approach for the Campanian Ignimbrite [PDF]
The 39 ka Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) super-eruption was the largest volcanic eruption of the past 200 ka in Europe. Tephra deposits indicate two distinct plume forming phases, Plinian and co-ignimbrite, characteristic of many caldera-forming eruptions ...

With reference to recognition by P. C. Aw of the Temangan dike as an ignimbrite (see this Bibliography Vol. 31, No. 8, 10 E67-07201), it is pointed out that rocks mapped as quartz porphyry in other Malayan localities are probably also ignimbrites. The fissure in which the Temangan dike is located is considered part of a major structural element which ...

Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...

A FIELD and laboratory study of the Ordovician ignimbrites of North Wales that has been in progress since 19531–3 has revealed certain limitations in Marshall's original hypothesis4 regarding the origin of this interesting category of rocks. These limitations have been apparent to workers elsewhere5–8.

Relationships between the geomechanics and petrography of ignimbrite [PDF]
Fundamental petrographic controls on ignimbrite strength are examined, and those aspects of the texture and fabric of the rocks which are primarily responsible for the strength of ignimbrite identified.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Mordenite is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral that is the seventh most common zeolite mineral globally, forming at low temperatures (≥100°C) in hydrothermal systems. In New Zealand, extensive deposits of mordenite are commonly associated with areas of hydrothermal alteration, particularly in the Coromandel and Taupo Volcanic Zones.
