Emeishan large igneous province, SW China
Lithos, 2005In recent years, there have been major advances in our understanding of the Emeishan large igneous province (LIP) of SW China following publication of a number of LIP-focused investigations of the terrain and associated rocks. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge. The volcanic and upper-intrusive portion of the province is relatively small

Large igneous provinces: Progenitors of some ophiolites?
2001Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental flood-basalt provinces, oceanic plateaus, oceanic basin flood basalts, and volcanic passive margins share geologic and geophysical characteristics that indicate an origin distinct from igneous rocks formed at mid-ocean ridges. Such characteristics of mafic large igneous provinces (LIPs) include (1) broad areal extent (>

Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are intraplate magmatic events, involving volumes of mainly mafic magma upwards of 100,000 km3, and often above 1 million km3. They are linked to continental break-up, global environmental catastrophes, regional uplift and a variety of ore deposit types.

The Karoo Large Igneous Province
South African Journal of GeologyAbstract The Karoo Large Igneous Province (LIP) is mainly situated in South Africa but extends into the surrounding countries and Antarctica. The present area of outcrop in southern Africa is at least 140 000 km2, and the original lava field may have covered two million km2.

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003
Abstract We present new paleomagnetic and multi-model stereo photogrammetry data from lava sequences in the West Greenland part of the North Atlantic igneous province (NAIP). The joint analyses of paleomagnetic and photogrammetric data yield a well-defined paleomagnetic pole located at Lat=73.6°N, Long=160.5°E ( N =44, α 95 =6.2°, K =13.1; age ∼61–

Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions
Earth-Science Reviews, 2001Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces coincide with extinction events are unduly optimistic. The best correlation occurs for four consecutive mid-Phanerozoic examples, namely the end-Guadalupian extinction ...

Hotspot Volcanoes and Large Igneous Provinces
2007Ocean island volcanoes and large igneous provinces, both of which represent mantle plume volcanism, are attractive drilling targets because of compelling scientific issues, the layered structure of lava accumulations, and the demonstrated capability to retrieve a high percentage of core in many environments.

Large igneous provinces and Earth’s carbon cycle
2012Using stable carbon isotopes of soil carbonates, I demonstrate that the eruption of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) resulted in a transient perturbation of atmospheric pCO2 in the Late Triassic. I show evidence of a discrete pCO2 pulse (roughly a doubling) immediately after the first CAMP flow-unit preserved in the Newark rift basin ...
