The Hirnantian mass extinction is recognized as the first of the "big three" extinctions and, along with the end-Permian and end-Cretaceous events, is the result of an acceleration in biotic extinctions concomitant with a rise in originations. The Hi... Read More about An earth system approach to understanding the end-Ordovician (Hirnantian) mass extinction.

Currently, it is believed that volcanogenic outgassing of CO2 during Karoo-Ferrar igneous province eruptions caused prolonged global warming and a multiphased extinction event during the Pliensbachian–Toarcian interval of the Early Jurassic. Warmer w... Read More about The Pliensbachian-Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction: A North American perspective..

Book Chapter

We use volatiles in melt inclusions and nominally anhydrous phenocrysts, with volcanic gas flux and composition, and textural analysis of mafic inclusions to estimate the mass of exsolved vapour prior to eruption at Soufrière Hills Volcano (SHV). Pre... Read More about Pre-eruptive vapour and its role in controlling eruption style and longevity at Soufriere Hills Volcano.

The andesite lava erupted at the Soufrière Hills Volcano (SHV) is crystal-rich with 33–63% phenocrysts of plagioclase (65%), amphibole (28%), orthopyroxene (7%), and minor Fe–Ti oxide and clinopyroxene microphenocrysts. The andesite hosts mafic encla... Read More about Petrological and geochemical variation during the Soufrière Hills eruption, 1995 to 2010.

Lavas from the current eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat exhibit evidence for magma mingling, related to the intrusion of mafic magma at depth. We present detailed field, petrological, textural and geochemical descriptions of mafic...
