Full Description
Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces: A Comparative Approach delivers an in-depth examination of large igneous provinces (LIPs) through a multidisciplinary lens, offering readers a thorough understanding of their geological, thermal, and biological impacts. By focusing on the rapid emplacement of LIPs—a phenomenon linked to continental break-up, mineral deposits, and mass extinctions—the book addresses ongoing scientific debates. Organized chronologically, it analyzes key Phanerozoic LIPs chosen for their significance, presenting the material in a clear and accessible manner that appeals to both specialists and newcomers interested in the complexities of Earth's geological history.
Beyond its comparative analysis, the book serves as a foundational reference, employing a consistent chapter template to streamline comparisons of each LIP's essential features and processes. It covers more than 20 major LIPs, delving into their historical context, geological backgrounds, physical properties, formation mechanisms, ages, geochronological data, and mineralogy. This structure allows readers to easily synthesize information and appreciate each province's uniqueness, making the volume a valuable resource for understanding the broader implications of LIP activity on Earth's evolution.
