How Large Igneous Provinces affect global climate, sometimes cause mass extinctions, and represent natural markers in the geological record
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …
