Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 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.

The Buoyancy of Cratonic Lithospheric Mantle [PDF]
Geophysical Research LettersAbstract Cratons are generally thought to be characterized by stable, long‐lived mantle roots. However, recent studies have suggested that the lithospheric mantle may be prone to removal, implying that it may be denser than the asthenosphere.

Heavy oxygen recycled into the lithospheric mantle. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractMagmas in volcanic arcs have geochemical and isotopic signatures that can be related to mantle metasomatism due to fluids and melts released by the down-going oceanic crust and overlying sediments, which modify the chemistry and mineralogy of the mantle wedge.

Breakup of strong cratonic lithosphere causes extensive magmatism at continental margins [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExtensive magmatism and Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) may form at continental margins during continental breakup. While high mantle temperatures and geochemical fertility (such as plume activity) are typically considered the causes of magmatic ...

Lithospheric mantle buoyancy: the role of tectonic convergence and mantle composition. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractPlate subduction and delamination, two key processes driving plate tectonics, are thought to be controlled by the buoyancy of the lithospheric mantle relative to the underlying asthenosphere. Most mantle delamination models consider a lithospheric density higher than the asthenosphere to ensure negative buoyancy (slab pull).

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-
