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.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 N–S rifting is one of the most typical tectonics in southern Tibet, but its formation mechanism remains controversial. Geophysical observations indicated spatial correlations between rifts and lithospheric mantle anomalies, presumably caused by ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 The Afar and Ethiopian plateaus are in a dynamic uplift due to the mantle plume, therefore, considering the plume effect is necessary for any geophysical investigation including the estimation of lithospheric stress in this area. The Earth gravity models

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Volcanoes are usually found near the borders of tectonic plates that are violently either pushing or pulling at each other. Mysteriously, however, volcanoes sometimes erupt in the middle of these plates instead. The culprits behind these outbursts might be giant pillars of hot molten rock known as mantle plumes, jets of magma rising up from near the ...

Tracing the Iceland plume and North East Atlantic breakup in the lithosphere
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Plumes are domains where hotter material rises through Earth´s mantle, heating also the moving lithospheric plates that may experience thinning or even continental breakup.

The deep Earth origin of the Iceland plume and its effects on regional surface uplift and subsidence [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 The present-day seismic structure of the mantle under the North Atlantic Ocean indicates that the Iceland hotspot represents the surface expression of a deep mantle plume, which is thought to have erupted in the North Atlantic domain during the ...

Plume-Induced Subduction Initiation: Revisiting Models and Observations
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Subduction initiation induced by a hot and buoyant mantle plume head is unique among proposed subduction initiation mechanisms because it does not require pre-existing weak zones or other forces for lithospheric collapse.
