Phanerozoic paleotemperatures: The earth's changing climate during the last 540 million years
This study provides a comprehensive and quantitative estimate of how global temperatures
have changed during the last 540 million years. It combines paleotemperature …

Mantle plumes and their role in Earth processes
The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

U-Pb constraints on pulsed eruption of the Deccan Traps across the end-Cretaceous mass extinction
Temporal correlation between some continental flood basalt eruptions and mass extinctions
has been proposed to indicate causality, with eruptive volatile release driving environmental …

Divergent evolutionary trajectories of bryophytes and tracheophytes from a complex common ancestor of land plants
The origin of plants and their colonization of land fundamentally transformed the terrestrial
environment. Here we elucidate the basis of this formative episode in Earth history through …

Large igneous province record through time and implications for secular environmental changes and geological time‐scale boundaries
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver
of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …
