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.

How Cratonic Roots Survive With Weak Mid‐Lithosphere Discontinuities
The stability of cratons has long been attributed to their neutral buoyancy and strong roots. However, recent seismic studies have revealed widespread mid‐lithospheric discontinuities (MLDs) within cratonic roots.

Evaluation of Contextual and Game-Based Training for Phishing Detection
Cybersecurity is a pressing matter, and a lot of the responsibility for cybersecurity is put on the individual user. The individual user is expected to engage in secure behavior by selecting good passwords, identifying malicious emails, and more. Typical

Craton Destruction Induced by Drastic Drops in Lithospheric Mantle Viscosity
Abstract The disruption of the mantle roots of cratons is common after cratonization. Craton destruction, which is characterized by severe lithospheric thinning, extensive thrust and extensional deformation, basin filling, and intense thermal activities, is relatively rare and is generally attributed to intensely reduced viscosity contrasts between the

XENOLITHS OF POLYMICTIC BRECCIAS FROM KIMBERLITES OF THE YAKUTIAN DIAMONDIFEROUS PROVINCE
The polymictic breccias, extremely rare mantle conglomerates being the fragments of rocks and large mantle minerals cemented with fine-grained mass have been long provoking interest of petrologists worldwide.

The Earth's upper mantle is isotopically heterogeneous over large lengthscales, but the lower limit of these heterogeneities is not well quantified. Grain scale trace elemental variability has been observed in mantle peridotites, which suggests that ...

We present constraints on the hydration state and rheology of the lithospheric mantle beneath the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ). Peridotite xenoliths from the Biyikali and Çorlu volcanic centers record deformational microstructures consistent with ...
