Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 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.

Crust-Mantle Interaction Controls the Formation of High-Mg Adakitic Rocks: Evidence from Early Cretaceous Intrusive Complexes in Luxi Terrane, North China Craton [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 High-Mg adakite rocks preserve crucial information about the crust-mantle interactions during the magma evolution. The Luxi Terrane, southeastern North China Craton, stores a set of Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakite rocks; nevertheless, their petrogenesis

Multistage origin of dunite in the Purang ophiolite, southern Tibet, documented by composition, exsolution and Li isotope characteristics of constituent minerals [PDF]
European Journal of Mineralogy, 2020 The Purang ophiolite, which crops out over an area of about 650 km2 in the western Yarlung–Zangbo suture zone, consists chiefly of mantle peridotite, pyroxenite and gabbro.

Two new minerals, badengzhuite, TiP, and zhiqinite, TiSi2, from the Cr-11 chromitite orebody, Luobusa ophiolite, Tibet, China: is this evidence for super-reduced mantle-derived fluids? [PDF]
European Journal of Mineralogy, 2020 Titanium minerals enclosed in corundum separated from the Cr-11 orebody include native Ti, zamboite (FeTiSi2), osbornite (TiN)-khamrabaevite (TiC) solid solutions, and jingsuiite (TiB2), as well as the new minerals badengzhuite (TiP) and zhiqinite (TiSi2)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 215-229, January 2023., 2023 This paper uses a numerical landscape evolution model to reconstruct the topographic history of Madagascar since the Late Cretaceous. The model is optimised by balancing the volumes of onshore erosion and offshore sedimentation; the former is predicted with erosion laws and based on uplift history inferred from elevated planation surfaces.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ∼56 Ma)–a geologically rapid carbon‐release event similar to anthropogenic carbon emissions–is ideal for investigating weathering responses to rapid carbon release and associated climate change.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) of west Africa poses many challenges to common models of mantle processes and volcanic system genesis. Although the CVL superficially resembles the hot-spot trace of a mantle plume, there is no evidence for age ...
