The Capitanian (Guadalupian, Middle Permian) mass extinction in NW Pangaea (Borup Fiord, Arctic Canada): a global crisis driven by volcanism and anoxia (2019)
Journal Article
Bond, D., Wignall, P., & Grasby, S. (in press). The Capitanian (Guadalupian, Middle Permian) mass extinction in NW Pangaea (Borup Fiord, Arctic Canada): a global crisis driven by volcanism and anoxia. Geological Society of America Bulletin, 132(5-6), 931–942

Until recently the biotic crisis that occurred within the Capitanian Stage (Middle Permian, ca. 262 Ma) was known only from equatorial (Tethyan) latitudes and its global extent was poorly resolved. The discovery of a Boreal Capitanian crisis in Spits...

Dynamic climate-driven controls on the deposition of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in the Cleveland Basin, Yorkshire, UK. Climate of the Past Discussions, 15, 1581–1601. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-15-1581-2019

The Kimmeridge Clay Formation (KCF) is a laterally extensive, total-organic-carbon-rich succession deposited throughout northwest Europe during the Kimmeridgian–Tithonian (Late Jurassic). It has recently been postulated that an expanded Hadley cell,...

Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering (2019)
Journal Article
Little, S. H., Munson, S., Prytulak, J., Coles, B. J., Hammond, S. J., & Widdowson, M. (2019). Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering. Geochimica et cosmochimica acta, 263, 85-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2019.07.057

Copper and Zn are trace metal micronutrients whose stable isotope systematics are receiving increasing attention as possible paleoenvironmental tracers. However, to realise this potential, their behaviour during chemical weathering must be better con... Read More about Cu and Zn isotope fractionation during extreme chemical weathering.

Addressing uncertainty during early stage frontier exploration: bringing regional context to basin modelling (2019)
Journal Article
Dowey, N., & Yallup, C. (2019). Addressing uncertainty during early stage frontier exploration: bringing regional context to basin modelling. First Break, 37(5), 75--79

During the early stages of exploration, uncertainties regarding the nature and presence of a petroleum system are significant. The potential risk on charge conditions is typically a key factor in frontier exploration; charge has been a common cause o...

Early Triassic microbialites from the Changxing Region of Zhejiang Province, South China (2019)
Journal Article
Huang, Y. F., Bond, D. P., Wang, Y. B., Wang, T., Yi, Z. X., Yuan, A. H., Jia, J. Y., & Su, Y. Q. (2019). Early Triassic microbialites from the Changxing Region of Zhejiang Province, South China. Journal of Palaeogeography, 8(1), Article 22. https://doi.org/10.1186/s42501-019-0039-1

© 2019, The Author(s). Microbialites, often considered as a signal of extreme marine environment, are common in the Lower Triassic strata of South China where they flourished in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction. Early Triassic microbi... Read More about Early Triassic microbialites from the Changxing Region of Zhejiang Province, South China.

Natural fracture propping and earthquake-induced oil migration in fractured basement reservoirs (2019)
Journal Article
Holdsworth, R. E., McCaffrey, K. J. W., Dempsey, E., Roberts, N. M. W., Hardman, K., Morton, A., Feely, M., Hunt, J., Conway, A., & Robertson, A. (2019). Natural fracture propping and earthquake-induced oil migration in fractured basement reservoirs. Geology, 47(8), 700-704. https://doi.org/10.1130/G46280.1

The geological processes that create fluid storage capacity and connectivity in global fractured basement reservoirs are poorly understood compared to conventional hydrocarbon plays. Hosting potentially multi-billion barrels of oil, the upfaulted P... Read More about Natural fracture propping and earthquake-induced oil migration in fractured basement reservoirs.

Ammonium ocean following the end-Permian mass extinction (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, Y. D., Zulla, M. J., Joachimski, M. M., Bond, D. P., Wignall, P. B., Zhang, Z. T., & Zhang, M. H. (2019). Ammonium ocean following the end-Permian mass extinction. Earth and planetary science letters, 518, 211-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2019.04.036

The aftermath of end-Permian mass extinction was marked by a ~5 million year interval of poorly-understood, extreme environments that likely hindered biotic recovery. Contemporary nitrogen isotope variations are considered, using a new conceptual mod... Read More about Ammonium ocean following the end-Permian mass extinction.

The Neoarchaean Uyea Gneiss Complex, Shetland: an onshore fragment of the Rae Craton on the European Plate (2019)
Journal Article
