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 review on the definitions of terms of sedimentary facies
In recent years, in some papers and manuscripts published in and submitted to the Journal of Palaeogeography (Chinese Edition and English Edition), the authors named the rocks or rock types as “microfacies” or “lithofacies”, named the microfeatures in ...

Southeast Asia's changing palaeogeography [PDF]
Geology provides the basis for understanding distributions of faunas and floras in Southeast Asia but only via a complex interplay of plate movements, palaeogeography, ocean circulation and climate. Southeast Asia grew incrementally by the addition of continental fragments, mainly rifted from Australia, and added to the margins of Sundaland as a result

Łódź Region and its Northern Vicinity under Vistulian Glaciation Conditions
An overview of palaeogeographical findings of the last glacial period (MIS 5d-MIS 2) has been given for the Łódź region. Processes which influenced the area outside of ice-sheet margin are presented with respect to space and time, as predominantly driven

A palaeocoastline reconstruction for the Käsmu and Pärispea peninsulas (northern Estonia) over the last 4000 years [PDF]
The marine-freshwater environmental transition, i.e. basin isolation from the Limnea Sea, has been identified in two short sediment cores with respect to their diatom composition, loss-on-ignition and magnetic susceptibility content.

Lithofacies palaeogeography as a guide to petroleum exploration
Lithofacies palaeogeography as a guide to petroleum exploration is a very important topic. By using the following five exploration examples, this paper discusses the guide of lithofacies palaeogeography or of sedimentary facies to petroleum exploration ...

Devonian corals of the Vosges Mountains, France [PDF]
The Saxo-Thuringian Zone of western Europe is a tectonostratigraphic unit that includes Devonian sediments. Usually, the sediments are deep-water siliciclastics and variously affected by regional metamorphism.
