The Carnian Pluvial Episode (Late Triassic) was a time of global environmental changes
and possibly substantial coeval volcanism. The extent of the biological turnover in marine …

The climate of the Triassic period was characterized by a non-zonal pattern, dictated by a
strong global monsoon system with effects that are most evident in the Tethys realm. This …

Numerous climate models predict that the geography of the supercontinent Pangea was
conducive to the establishment of a" megamonsoonal" circulation. In general, geologic …
