DOI: 10.1002/2017tc004596
Abstract: Study of the deep structure of conjugate passive continental margins combined with detailed plate kinematic reconstructions can provide constraints on the mechanisms of rifting and formation of initial oceanic crust. In this study the central… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.11.018
Abstract: Abstract Mafic sills of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) in Brazil are temporally linked to the end-Triassic extinction (ETE), one of the largest mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. The sills were emplaced into the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-25510-w
Abstract: Exceptional magmatic events coincided with the largest mass extinctions throughout Earth’s history. Extensive degassing from organic-rich sediments intruded by magmas is a possible driver of the catastrophic environmental changes, which triggered the biotic crises. One… read more here.
