Two-billion-year-old volcanism on the Moon from Chang’e-5 basalts
Nature, 2021 The Moon has a magmatic and thermal history that is distinct from that of the terrestrial planets1. Radioisotope dating of lunar samples suggests that most lunar basaltic magmatism ceased by around 2.9–2.8 billion years ago (Ga)2,3, although younger ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes, mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes, chemical index of alteration ...

On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
Science, 2020 An impact with a dash of volcanism Around the time of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction that wiped out dinosaurs, there was both a bolide impact and a large amount of volcanism. Hull et al. ran several temperature simulations based on different volcanic

Felsic volcanism as a factor driving the end-Permian mass extinction
Science Advances, 2021 Felsic volcanism in South China with Cu, Hg, and S released exacerbated environmental changes that drove the end-Permian extinction.

Asteroid impact, not volcanism, caused the end-Cretaceous dinosaur extinction
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance We present a quantitative test of end-Cretaceous extinction scenarios and how these would have affected dinosaur habitats. Combining climate and ecological modeling tools, we demonstrate a substantial detrimental effect on dinosaur habitats ...

Lunar farside volcanism 2.8 billion years ago from Chang'e-6 basalts. [PDF]
NatureUnravelling the volcanic history of the enigmatic lunar farside is essential for understanding the hemispheric dichotomy of the Moon1, 2–3. Cratering chronology established for the lunar nearside has been used to suggest long-lived volcanism on the ...

A subduction and mantle plume origin for Samoan volcanism
Scientific Reports, 2018 The origin of Samoan volcanism in the southwest Pacific remains enigmatic. Whether mantle melting is solely caused by a mantle plume is questionable because some volcanism, here referred to as non-hotspot volcanism, defies the plume model and its linear ...

Nature Communications, 2016 The cause of the end-Cretaceous (KPg) mass extinction is still debated due to difficulty separating the influences of two closely timed potential causal events: eruption of the Deccan Traps volcanic province and impact of the Chicxulub meteorite. Here we
