The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Chemical abrasion applied to LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology [PDF]
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most commonly used mineral in U-Pb geochronology. Although it has proven to be a robust chronometer, it can suffer from Pb-loss or elevated common Pb, both of which impede precision and accuracy of age determinations.

Navigating the complexity of detrital rutile provenance: methodological insights from the Neotethys Orogen in Anatolia [PDF]
Sedimentary provenance is a powerful tool for reconstructing convergent margin evolution. However, single mineral approaches, like detrital zircon, have struggled to track sediment input from mafic and metamorphic sources.

Paleozoic ocean plate stratigraphy unraveled by calcite U-Pb dating of basalt and biostratigraphy
The formation and tectonic evolution of mafic oceanic crust can be determined through dating of calcite amygdules using U-Pb geochronology as well as geochemistry and biostratigraphic observations, according to a study of the New England Orogen ...

Evaluating the construction and evolution of upper crustal magma reservoirs with coupled U/Pb zircon geochronology and thermal modeling:A case study from the Mt. Capanne pluton (Elba, Italy) [PDF]
Evaluating mechanisms and rates for magma transport and emplacement in the upper crust is important in order to predict the thermal and rheological state of the crust, and understand the relationship between plutonism and volcanism. U–Pb geochronology on
