Large Igneous Province Record Through Time and Implications for Secular Environmental Changes and Geological Time‐Scale Boundaries

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

A Log‐Ratio‐Based Algorithm for Petrologic Mass‐Balance Problems and Uncertainty Assessment

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
We provide a new algorithm for mass‐balance calculations in petrology and geochemistry based on the log‐ratio approach championed initially by John Aitchison (e.g., Aitchison, 1982, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1982.tb01195.x; Aitchison, 1984 ...

Defects in olivine [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy, 2021
Olivine, a ferromagnesian orthosilicate, is the most abundant mineral in Earth's upper mantle and is stable down to the olivine–wadsleyite phase transition, which defines the 410 km depth mantle transition zone.

Experimental metamorphic petrology

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1971
Experimental studies in the last quadrennium that are applicable to metamorphic petrology are many and varied. They range from the rigorous formulation of P‐T diagrams to thermochemical studies and solubility measurements. One encouraging feature of the large number of studies is an attempt to correlate the various studies with those of other workers ...

Genesis of silica-rich carbonatite in the Miaoya complex, Hubei Province and its implications for REE mineralization

open access: yes地质科技通报, 2023
The Miaoya complex in Hubei Province hosts one of the most important REE deposit in China. This complex is composed of syenite, carbonatite (SiO2 < 10%), and a suite of silica-rich carbonatite (SiO2>30%).
