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.

Regional Geophysics of the Caribbean and Northern South America: Implications for Tectonics
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The Caribbean plate is an enclosed oceanic basin whose formation and evolution are controversial. In the most commonly accepted model, the Caribbean plate is mainly composed of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) and the buoyant characteristic of

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 To explore a local relationship between geological structures and the occurrence of very-low-frequency earthquakes (VLFEs), a particular class of slow earthquakes with characteristic periods of 10–100 s, we investigated three-dimensional (3D) structural ...

Tracing Recycled Crustal Materials in the Subcontinental Lithospheric Mantle Using Thallium Isotopes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Here we report the first set of thallium (Tl) isotope data in alkaline rocks from the North China Craton to constrain the nature of recycled materials in the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle.

Ridge Jumps and Mantle Exhumation in Back-Arc Basins
Geosciences, 2021 Back-arc basins in continental settings can develop into oceanic basins, when extension lasts long enough to break up the continental lithosphere and allow mantle melting that generates new oceanic crust.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Subducted oceanic crust is enriched in free silica. Although being one of the silica polymorphs at lower‐mantle pressures, niccolite‐type phase (Nt‐phase) has not been documented in multicomponent metabasaltic or metasediment compositions relevant to ...

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018 The evolution of the ‘mantle – moving deformable continents’ system has been studied by numerical experiments. The continents move self-consistently with the mantle flows of thermo-compositional convection.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Oceanic Transform Faults are one of manifestations of the three major plate boundaries and a key tectonic feature of oceanic crust. They are broadly considered to accommodate strike‐slip displacement along simple vertical faults and to be largely without
