The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 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.

Multiscale modeling of upper mantle plasticity: From single-crystal rheology to multiphase aggregate deformation [PDF]
, 2014 We report a first application of an improved second-order (SO) viscoplastic self-consistent model for multiphase aggregates, applied to an olivine + diopside aggregate as analogue for a dry upper mantle peridotite deformed at 10 15 s 1 shear strain rate ...

Seismic velocities in mantle minerals and the mineralogy of the upper mantle [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1989 Comparison of seismic velocities in mantle minerals, under mantle conditions, with seismic data is a first step toward constraining mantle chemistry. The calculation, however, is uncertain due to lack of data on certain physical properties. “Global” systematics have not proved very useful in estimating these properties, particularly for the shear ...

Depth-dependent density change within the continental upper mantle
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2012 The empirical model of the depth-dependent density change within the upper continental mantle is derived in this study. The density of the upper(most) mantle underlying the continental crust is obtained from the estimated values of the crust–mantle (Moho)

Tertiary-Quaternary intra-plate magmatism in Europe and its relationship to mantle dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 Anorogenic intra-plate magmatism was widespread in Europe from early Tertiary to Recent times, extending west to east from Spain to Bulgaria, and south to north from Sicily to northern Germany. Magmatism is spatially and temporally associated with Alpine-

Mantle roots of the Emeishan plume: an evaluation based on teleseismic P-wave tomography [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 The voluminous magmatism associated with large igneous provinces (LIPs) is commonly correlated to upwelling plumes from the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Here we analyse seismic tomographic data from the Emeishan LIP in southwestern China.

Mantle transition zone structure beneath India and Western China from migration of PP and SS precursors [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the seismic structure of the upper-mantle and mantle transition zone beneath India and Western China using PP and SS underside reflections offseismic discontinuities, which arrive as precursors to the PP and SS arrival.
