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.

Carbonate minerals are largely associated with many geological and biological environments as well as several industrial and technological processes. The crystalline characteristics of these mineral phases can be modified by background salts present in ...

The numerous specimens illustrating the rock formations of the Isle of Rodriguez, collected by Mr. I. Bayley Balfour from different localities, need only a cursory inspection to attest the volcanic character of the whole mass of the island. Rodriguez, in fact, consists of Doleritic lavas that appear to have been poured out at a considerable number of ...

Experimental constraints on amphibole stability in primitive alkaline and calc-alkaline magmas [PDF]
Equilibrium crystallization experiments were carried out on two primitive basaltic rocks (APR16: Na2O+K2O=4.40 wt%; CM42: Na2O+K2O=2.59 wt%) with the aim to investigate the amphibole stability in the differentiation processes at deep crustal level, of

Primary crustal melt compositions: Insights into the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation from kinetics experiments and melt inclusions [PDF]
We explore the controls, mechanisms and timing of generation of primary melts and their compositions, and show that the novel studies of melt inclusions in migmatites can provide important insights into the processes of crustal anatexis of a particular ...

Petrology of some oceanic island basalts: PRIMELT2.XLS software for primary magma calculation [PDF]
PRIMELT2.XLS software is introduced for calculating primary magma composition and mantle potential temperature (TP) from an observed lava composition. It is an upgrade over a previous version in that it includes garnet peridotite melting and it detects ...
