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.

U–Pb geochronology of carbonate-hosted Pb–Zn ores reveals plate-tectonic evolution of eastern Asia during the early Paleozoic [PDF]
The Mississippi Valley–type (MVT) deposits reached their maximum abundance during the final assembly of Pangea. The intense orogenic activity during this assembly in relatively low latitudes created abundant opportunities for the migration of sedimentary

U-Pb geochronology documents out-of-sequence emplacement of ultramafic layers in the Bushveld Igneous Complex of South Africa. [PDF]
Layered intrusions represent part of the plumbing systems that deliver vast quantities of magma through the Earth’s crust during the formation of large igneous provinces, which disrupt global ecosystems and host most of the Earth’s endowment of Pt, Ni ...

Detrital Zircon U-Pb Geochronology Applied to Tectonics
Detrital zircon geochronology is rapidly developing into an essential tool in Earth science research because of the widespread occurrence of zircon in sedimentary systems; the wide range of information that can be extracted from zircon crystals; the ability to determine ages with reasonable precision, accuracy, and efficiency; and the wide range of ...

An algorithm for U–Pb geochronology by secondary ion mass spectrometry [PDF]
Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a widely used technique for in situ U–Pb geochronology of accessory minerals. Existing algorithms for SIMS data reduction and error propagation make a number of simplifying assumptions that degrade the precision
