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.

African cratonic lithosphere carved by mantle plumes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractHow cratons, the ancient cores of continents, evolved since their formation over 2.5 Ga ago is debated. Seismic tomography can map the thick lithosphere of cratons, but its resolution is low in sparsely sampled continents. Here we show, using waveform tomography with a large, newly available dataset, that cratonic lithosphere beneath Africa is ...

Effects of Composite Rheology on Plate‐Like Behavior in Global‐Scale Mantle Convection
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Earth's upper mantle rheology controls lithosphere‐asthenosphere coupling and thus surface tectonics. Rock deformation experiments and seismic anisotropy measurements indicate that composite rheology (co‐existing diffusion and dislocation creep) occurs ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022 The lithospheric mantle, formed at the mid-ocean ridge as a residue of crustal production, comprises theoretically depleted peridotite, but more fertile components (e.g., lherzolite and pyroxenite) have been reported, creating an enigmatic picture of the

Lithospheric Thinning by Mantle Plumes [PDF]
ASEG Extended Abstracts, 2016 Thermo-mechanical thinning of the lithosphere by mantle plumes is essential for intra-plate volcanism, the initiation of rifting, the evolution of Earth’s lower continental crust and the genesis of metals, diamonds and hydrocarbons. To develop a new understanding of how a mantle plume thins the overlying lithosphere beneath moving plates, we use 2-D ...

Solid Earth Sciences, 2020 Formation of the first continents belongs to fundamental questions regarding the evolution of the Earth. Though the growth of early crust is often debated, role of the mantle lithosphere that represents the biggest volume of continents is often ...

Impact of upper mantle convection on lithosphere hyperextension and subsequent horizontally forced subduction initiation [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2020 Many plate tectonic processes, such as subduction initiation, are embedded in long-term (>100 Myr) geodynamic cycles often involving subsequent phases of extension, cooling without plate deformation and convergence. However, the impact of upper mantle

How mantle heterogeneities drive continental subduction and magmatism in the Apennines
Scientific Reports, 2022 Petrologic and geophysical observations floored the paradigm shift on the subduction of the continental lithosphere. In long-lived collisional boundaries like the Alpine Himalaya belt, portions of continental lithosphere are pushed down to great depths ...
