Large igneous province record through time and implications for secular environmental changes and geological time‐scale boundaries
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver
of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …

How Large Igneous Provinces affect global climate, sometimes cause mass extinctions, and represent natural markers in the geological record
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …
