This book is Open Access. A digital copy can be downloaded for free
from Wiley Online Library. 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.
Environmental changes caused by LIPs and SLIPs include rapid global
warming, global cooling ('Snowball Earth'), oceanic anoxia events,
mercury poisoning, atmospheric and oceanic acidification, and sea
level changes. Continued research to characterize the effects of
these extremely large and typically short duration igneous events
on atmospheric and oceanic chemistry through Earth history can
provide lessons for understanding and mitigating modern climate
change. Large Igneous Provinces: A Driver of Global Environmental
and Biotic Changes describes the interactions between the effects
of LIPs and other drivers of climatic change, the limits of the LIP
effect, and the atmospheric and oceanic consequences of LIPs in
significant environmental events. Volume highlights include:
Temporal record of large igneous provinces (LIPs) Environmental
impacts of LIP emplacement Precambrian, Proterozoic, and
Phanerozoic case histories Links between geochemical proxies and
the LIP record Alternative causes for environmental change Key
parameters related to LIPs and SLIPs for use in environmental
change modelling Role of LIPs in Permo-Triassic, Triassic-Jurassic,
and other mass extinction events The American Geophysical Union
promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of
humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and
provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
