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.

Late Ordovician mass extinction caused by volcanism, warming, and anoxia, not cooling and glaciation (2020)

The Ordovician saw major diversification in marine life abruptly terminated by the Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME). Around 85% of species were eliminated in two pulses 1 m.y. apart. The first pulse, in the basal Hirnantian, has been linked to... Read More about Late Ordovician mass extinction caused by volcanism, warming, and anoxia, not cooling and glaciation.
