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.

Insolation driven variations of Mercury’s lithospheric strength [PDF]
Mercury's coupled 3:2 spin-orbit resonance in conjunction with its relatively high eccentricity of ~0.2 and near-zero obliquity results in both a latitudinal and longitudinal variation in annual average solar insolation and thus equatorial hot and cold ...

Evidence of Segmentation in the Iberia–Africa Plate Boundary: A Jurassic Heritage?
The present structure of the Iberia−Africa plate boundary between the Gorringe Bank and the Algerian Basin is characterized by a highly segmented geometry and diffused seismicity. Filtered Bouguer gravity data show conspicuous highs coinciding with

THE GLOBAL ENDODRAINAGE SYSTEM: SOME FLUID-PHYSICAL MECHANISMS OF GEODYNAMIC PROCESSES
The article presents the main results of more than forty-year studies of the hydrogeodeformation field. We have establish some new properties of lithospheric massifs, which are clearly detectable during the periods of fast geodynamic activation (FGeDA ...

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...
