Full Description
Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces: A Comparative Approach offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies of large igneous provinces (LIPs) by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that unravels the geological, thermal, and biological repercussions of LIP formation. The rapid emplacement of these provinces, often associated with continental break-up, mineral deposits, and mass extinctions remains a subject of intense debate. This book presents an accessible, yet detailed, analysis of several Phanerozoic LIPs, strategically selected for their scientific significance, and arranged chronologically. It provides a foundational reference for LIPs, utilizing a chapter-wide template to facilitate comparisons of crucial aspects and processes.
Users will find comprehensive knowledge on over 20 important LIPs, including historical context and uniqueness, geological background, physical characteristics and formations, age and geochronology, mineralogy, and synthesis.
