Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021

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.

Cyclone Ditwah (2025): moderate‐intensity tropical cyclone brings record flooding and damage to Sri Lanka

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a
