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.

Unlike their silicic counterparts, mafic eruptions are known for being on the low-end of the explosivity spectrum with eruption styles commonly ranging from effusive to Hawaiian fire fountaining.

Numerous fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs exist in the metamorphic basement of the Pannonian Basin in Hungary. Many decades of experience in production have proven that these reservoirs are highly compartmentalised, resulting in a complex mosaic of ...

Magnetotelluric (MT) data image the bulk resistivity of the subsurface which can be used to infer magma reservoir conditions beneath volcanoes. The bulk resistivity of magma depends primarily on the melt volume fraction, temperature, and water content ...

Improving crystallization and eruption age estimation using U-Th disequilibrium dating of young volcanic zircon [PDF]
Quantifying timescales and establishing robust eruption chronologies is critical for understanding the evolution and hazards of volcanic systems. U-Th disequilibrium dating on zircon is especially valuable for young and active systems (< 300 ka ...

Bringing the Field into the Classroom by Using Dynamic Digital Maps to Engage Undergraduate Students in Petrology Research [PDF]
This article describes the use of Dynamic Digital Maps (DDMs) in undergraduate petrology courses. A DDM is a stand-alone computer program that presents interactive geologic maps, digital images, movies, animations, text and data.

LATE-DEVONIAN SAKHARA DUNITE-CLINOPIROXENITE-GABBRO COMPLEX (EAST MAGNITOGORSK ZONE, SOUTH URALS): PETROLOGICAL-MINERALOGICAL FEATURES AND GEODYNAMIC SETTING [PDF]
The relevance of the work is caused by necessary regional analysis of magmatic evolution of the East Magnitogorsk belt and refinement of ideas on geodynamics of the South Urals.

The central issues in petrology have remained remarkably unchanged in the last 50 years. In igneous petrology, the focus is on understanding the nature and cause of diversity in igneous rocks: on identifying primary magma types and constraints on the ...
