Qualitative and quantitative approaches in palaeohydrography: a case study from core-top parameters in the Gulf of Cadiz (2010)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Schönfeld, J., & Leng, M. J. (2011). Qualitative and quantitative approaches in palaeohydrography: a case study from core-top parameters in the Gulf of Cadiz. Marine Geology, 280(1-4), 150-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2010.12.008

Palaeoceanography relies on the assumption that parameters measureable in sediment cores correlate reliably to hydrographic parameters. Areas of dynamic watermass mixing, which generally have steep hydrographic gradients, therefore provide both a tem...

Devonian rise in atmospheric oxygen correlated to the radiations of terrestrial plants and large predatory fish (2010)
Journal Article
Dahl, T. W., Hammarlund, E. U., Anbar, A. D., Bond, D. P. G., Gill, B. C., Gordon, G. W., Knoll, A. H., Nielsen, A. T., Schovsbo, N. H., & Canfield, D. E. (2010). Devonian rise in atmospheric oxygen correlated to the radiations of terrestrial plants and large predatory fish. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 107(42), 17911-17915. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1011287107

The evolution of Earth's biota is intimately linked to the oxygenation of the oceans and atmosphere. We use the isotopic composition and concentration of molybdenum (Mo) in sedimentary rocks to explore this relationship. Our results indicate two epis...

Tectonic setting and timing of the final Deccan flood basalt eruptions (2010)
Journal Article
Hooper, P., Widdowson, M., & Kelley, S. (2010). Tectonic setting and timing of the final Deccan flood basalt eruptions. Geology, 38(9), 839-842. https://doi.org/10.1130/G31072.1

The role of extensional tectonics in the generation of basaltic melt and eruption of continental flood basalts is controversial, and yet it remains crucial to understanding the origin and cause of these large-volume eruptions. Establishing the timing... Read More about Tectonic setting and timing of the final Deccan flood basalt eruptions.

The Middle Permian (Capitanian) mass extinction on land and in the oceans (2010)
Journal Article
Bond, D. P. G., Hilton, J., Wignall, P. B., Ali, J. R., Stevens, L. G., Sun, Y., & Lai, X. (2010). The Middle Permian (Capitanian) mass extinction on land and in the oceans. Earth-Science Reviews, 102(1-2), 100-116. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2010.07.004

A Middle Permian mass extinction, first discovered in 1994, has become known as the "end-Guadalupian event" in the literature. However, recent studies of foraminifera- and brachiopod-range truncations in conodont-dated sections on the South China Blo...

Conodont, C isotope and fossil and facies data are presented for the Capitanian (Middle Permian) mass extinction record seen in platform carbonates (Maokou and Wuchiaping formations) of South China, where limestones interdigitate with the volcanic su...

New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes (2010)
Journal Article
Barry, T. L., Self, S., Kelley, S. P., Reidel, S., Hooper, P., & Widdowson, M. (2010). New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Grande Ronde lavas, Columbia River Basalts, USA: Implications for duration of flood basalt eruption episodes. Lithos, 118(3-4), 213-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2010.03.014

Grande Ronde Basalt (GRB) lavas represent the most voluminous eruptive pulse of the Columbia River-Snake River-Yellowstone hotspot volcanism. With an estimated eruptive volume of 150,000km3, GRB lavas form at least 66% of the total volume of the Colu...

Fabric and pyrite framboid size analysis of Permian to Jurassic samples from the Mino-Tamba terrane of Japan provide an 80myr redox history from the Panthalassa Ocean. Fully oxygenated conditions dominated but were punctuated by three phases of anoxi...
