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.

Permeability within basaltic oceanic crust [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 1998 Water‐rock interactions within the seafloor are responsible for significant energy and solute fluxes between basaltic oceanic crust and the overlying ocean. Permeability is the primary hydrologic property controlling the form, intensity, and duration of seafloor fluid circulation, but after several decades of characterizing shallow oceanic basement, we

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.

Early hydrothermal carbon uptake by the upper oceanic crust: insight from in situ U-Pb dating [PDF]
, 2016 It is widely thought that continental chemical weathering provides the key feedback that prevents large fluctuations in atmospheric CO2, and hence surface temperature, on geological time scales.

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.

Cumulate causes for the low contents of sulfide-loving elements in the continental crust [PDF]
, 2017 Despite the economic importance of chalcophile (sulfide-loving) and siderophile (metal-loving) elements (CSEs), it is unclear how they become enriched or depleted in the continental crust, compared with the oceanic crust.

Aleutian basin oceanic crust [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015 Abstract We present two-dimensional P-wave velocity structure along two wide-angle ocean bottom seismometer profiles from the Aleutian basin in the Bering Sea. The basement here is commonly considered to be trapped oceanic crust, yet there is a change in orientation of magnetic lineations and gravity features within the basin that might reflect later
