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.

Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift [PDF]
Large parts of central Europe experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel the magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time,

Flutes, megaflutes and erosional bedforms: a reappraisal of their dynamics [PDF]
Erosional bedforms in deep-sea environments record the passage of highly erosive turbidity currents that are often voluminous and fully bypassing. This investigation focuses upon a subset of erosional bedforms that are elliptical in shape, and utilises ...

Multiproxy reconstruction for Kuroshio responses to northern hemispheric oceanic climate and the Asian Monsoon since Marine Isotope Stage 5.1 (∼88 ka) [PDF]
The Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the northwestern Pacific, plays a key role in regulating ocean and climate in East Asia. The evolution of the Kuroshio and its branches has been the focus of paleoceanographic studies. In this study, we applied

Depositional environment of the Barut Formation at the Barut Aghaji section, northwestern Soltanieh Mountains, western Alborz [PDF]
The Lower Cambrian Barut Formation is one of the most important lithostratigraphic units in reconstructing the paleogeography of northern Iran during the early Cambrian time. Herein, we present detailed facies analysis data of this formation in the Barut

Sedimentology and preservation of aeolian sediments on steep terrains: Incipient sand ramps on the Atacama coast (northern Chile) [PDF]
The origin of topographically controlled aeolian landforms in high-relief settings is difficult to synthesize under general models, given the dependence of such accumulations on local morphology.
