Structure and Function of Stony Coral Intraskeletal Polysaccharides [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2018 Polysaccharides represent a main weight fraction of the intraskeletal organic matrix of corals, but their structure, as well as their function in the calcification process, has been poorly investigated. This communication shows by a combination of techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and monosaccharide composition) that ...

Marine Anoxia and Ocean Acidification During the End‐Permian Extinction
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 325-340., 2021 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.
