Frontiers in large igneous province research
Lithos, 2005 Abstract Earth history is punctuated by events during which large volumes of mafic magmas were generated and emplaced by processes distinct from “normal” seafloor spreading and subduction-related magmatism. Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age are the best preserved, and comprise continental flood basalts, volcanic rifted ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsSedimentary mercury (Hg) has become a widely used proxy for paleo‐volcanic activity. However, scavenging and drawdown of Hg by organic‐matter (OM) and sulfides are important non‐volcanic factors determining variability in such records.

Regional Geophysics of the Caribbean and Northern South America: Implications for Tectonics
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The Caribbean plate is an enclosed oceanic basin whose formation and evolution are controversial. In the most commonly accepted model, the Caribbean plate is mainly composed of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) and the buoyant characteristic of

The signature of river- and wind-borne materials exported from Patagonia to the southern latitudes: a view from REEs and implications for paleoclimatic interpretations [PDF]
, 2004 Riverine and wind-borne materials transferred from Patagonia to the SW Atlantic exhibit a homogeneous rare earth element (REE) signature. They match well with the REE composition of Recent tephra from the Hudson volcano,and hence this implies a ...

Translithospheric magma plumbing system fossilized in the Emeishan large igneous province
Communications Earth & EnvironmentLighting up the magma plumbing system beneath a large igneous province (LIP) is challenging because the complex magma migration paths are often covered by flood basalts and sediments.

Ultramafic xenoliths from the Bearpaw Mountains, Montana, USA: evidence for multiple metasomatic events in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Wyoming craton [PDF]
, 2004 Ultramafic xenoliths in Eocene minettes of the Bearpaw Mountains volcanic field (Montana, USA), derived from the lower lithosphere of the Wyoming craton, can be divided based on textural criteria into tectonite and cumulate groups. The tectonites consist
