Caledonian and pre-Caledonian orogenic events in Shetland, Scotland: evidence from garnet Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd geochronology (2021)
Book Chapter
Walker, S., Bird, A. F., Thirllall, M. F., & Strachan, R. A. (2021). Caledonian and pre-Caledonian orogenic events in Shetland, Scotland: evidence from garnet Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd geochronology. In J. B. Murphy, R. A. Strachan, & C. Quesada (Eds.), Pannotia to Pangaea: Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic Orogenic Cycles in the Circum-Atlantic Region (305-331). Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP503-2020-32

Garnet Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd ages from the Shetland Caledonides provide evidence of a polyorogenic history as follows: (1) c. 1050 Ma Grenvillian reworking of Neoarchaean basement; (2) c. 910 Ma Renlandian metamorphism of the Westing Group; (3) c. 622–606...

Global warming and mass extinctions associated with large igneous province volcanism (2021)
Book Chapter
Bond, D. P., & Sun, Y. (2021). Global warming and mass extinctions associated with large igneous province volcanism. In R. E. Ernst, A. J. Dickson, & A. Bekker (Eds.), Large Igneous Provinces: A Driver of Global Environmental and Biotic Changes (83-102). American Geophysical Union. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781119507444.ch3

The coincidence of large igneous province (LIP) eruptions with at least three, if not all, of the Big Five biotic crises of the Phanerozoic implies that volcanism is a key driver of mass extinctions. Many LIP-induced extinction scenarios invoke globa... Read More about Global warming and mass extinctions associated with large igneous province volcanism.

Integrating Remediation and Resource Recovery of Industrial Alkaline Wastes: Case Studies of Steel and Alumina Industry Residues (2019)
Book Chapter
Gomes, H. I., Rogerson, M., Courtney, R., & Mayes, W. M. (2020). Integrating Remediation and Resource Recovery of Industrial Alkaline Wastes: Case Studies of Steel and Alumina Industry Residues. In Resource recovery from wastes: towards a circular economy (168-191). Royal Society of Chemistry. https://doi.org/10.1039/9781788016353-00168

With an estimated annual production of two billion tonnes globally, alkaline industrial wastes can be considered both major global waste streams, and materials that offer significant options for potential resource recovery. Alkaline wastes are usuall... Read More about Integrating Remediation and Resource Recovery of Industrial Alkaline Wastes: Case Studies of Steel and Alumina Industry Residues.

Miocene UHT granulites from Seram, eastern Indonesia: a geochronological–REE study of zircon, monazite and garnet (2018)
Book Chapter
Pownall, J. M., Armstrong, R. A., Williams, I. S., Thirlwall, M. F., Manning, C. J., & Hall, R. (2019). Miocene UHT granulites from Seram, eastern Indonesia: a geochronological–REE study of zircon, monazite and garnet. In S. Ferrero, P. Lanari, P. Goncalves, & E. Grosch (Eds.), Metamorphic Geology: Microscale to Mountain Belts (167-196). Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP478.8

The island of Seram, eastern Indonesia, incorporates Miocene ultrahigh-temperature (UHT; greater than 900°C) garnet–sillimanite granulites that formed by extensional exhumation of hot mantle rocks behind the rolling-back Banda Arc. UHT metamorphic co... Read More about Miocene UHT granulites from Seram, eastern Indonesia: a geochronological–REE study of zircon, monazite and garnet.

The early Danian hyperthermal event at Boltysh (Ukraine): Relation to Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary events. In G. Keller, & A. C. Kerr (Eds.), Volcanism, Impacts, and Mass Extinctions: Causes and Effects (133-146). Geological Society of America. https://doi.org/10.1130/2014.2505%2806%29

The Boltysh meteorite impact crater formed in the Ukrainian Shield on the margin of the Tethys Ocean a few thousand years before the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and was rapidly filled by a freshwater lake. Sediments filling the lake vary from early... Read More about The early Danian hyperthermal event at Boltysh (Ukraine): Relation to Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary events.

Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: an update (2014)
Book Chapter
Bond, D. P. G., & Wignall, P. B. (2014). Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: an update. In Geological Society of America Special Papers (29-55). Geological Society of America. https://doi.org/10.1130/2014.2505%2802%29

The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known. Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous province eruptions during several extinction crises that show the best cor...
