Large Igneous Provinces: A Driver of Global Environmental and Biotic Changes

by Andrey Bekker, Richard R Ernst, Aisha Al Suwaidi, et al.

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,...
