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.

Rifting Kinematics Produced by Magmatic and Tectonic Stresses in the North Volcanic Zone of Iceland
In the North Volcanic Zone of Iceland, we studied with the greatest possible detail the complete structural architecture and kinematics of the whole Theistareykir Fissure Swarm (ThFS), an N-S-trending, 70 km long active rift.

Deep structure of the Baringo Rift Basin (central Kenya) from three-dimensional magnetotelluric imaging: Implications for rift evolution [PDF]
Three-dimensional modeling of data from 31 vertical electrical and 24 magnetotelluric soundings collected in the Baringo-Bogoria Basin (central Kenya Rift Valley) shows a thick succession of well-defined tectonostratigraphic units beneath the Recent ...
