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.

Hydrous Carbonatitic Liquids Drive CO2 Recycling From Subducted Marls and Limestones
This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free from Wiley Online Library.
Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Key Points A new magnetite reference material (PF21mt) is available for δ18O measurements by SIMS. Reproducibility of measurement results in two laboratories suggest orientation bias of ±2‰ (2s) at 20 keV. Repeatability improves to ±1‰ (2s) when using a 13 keV protocol, suggesting reduced orientation bias. In situ isotope ratio measurements provide the

ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

The Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis (EHS), which is located at the southeastern edge of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, is a key region for understanding mountain‐building and subduction processes. Bouguer gravity anomalies derived from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 free‐air anomaly data following topographic corrections, were analyzed.

Mineralogy and Formation of a Platinum Placer Deposit, Southern South Island, New Zealand
Placer platinum group minerals (PGM), with subordinate detrital gold, have been concentrated in Pleistocene coastal sands near the present Foveaux Strait shoreline. This study characterises the PGM in what is New Zealand's only identified PGM deposit.

Abstract The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) Community Rheology Model (CRM) comprises a three‐dimensional geologic framework model (GFM) of southern California's lithosphere, and synthetic aggregate ductile flow laws applicable to each GFM rock type under low‐strain conditions. Given temperature, volatile content, pressure, and strain rate,

Subduction Zone Magnetism: The Influence of Metamorphism and Serpentinization in the Mantle Wedge
Abstract Subduction zone magnetic anomalies have previously been used to infer their thermal structure assuming a uniformly serpentinized mantle carries a homogeneous, isotropic magnetization. However, seismic tomography, geological observations and numerical modeling provide increasing evidence for a non‐uniformly serpentinized mantle wedge that may ...
