Constraining the timing of emplacement, duration and magma extrusion rates of large
igneous provinces is essential for evaluating their petrogenetic evolution and possible links …

The opening of the Equatorial and South Atlantic Oceans is still a matter of debate,
particularly as concerns the locations of the intraplate deformation. We propose here a …

We review available data constraining the extent, volume, age and duration of all major
Phanerozoic continental flood basalts (CFB or traps) and oceanic plateaus (OP), together …

We present a revised model for the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean founded on a
remapping of the continent—ocean boundaries and Aptian salt basins, the chronology of …

Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

The volcanic rocks of the Lower Cretaceous Paraná-Etendeka Igneous Province, in Brazil,
are grouped in the Serra Geral Group. The province can be chemically divided into low-TiO …

The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

The thinning of passive continental margins is usually explained by models using pure
stretching or simple shear. These models imply hypothetical extensional structures and …

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the products of exceptional magmatic events that played
important roles in tectonic plate reorganizations, environmental crises, energy resource …
