Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the following session
at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2008, Vienna,
Austria, 13-18 April 2008:
GMPV27: Large igneous provinces and their impact on life and
environment
Evidence of synchronism between the formation of many large
igneous provinces (LIPs) emplacement and major rapid environmental and
biotic crises has lead us to consider a causal relationship between
these events. The testing of such a hypothesis requires a
multidisciplinary approach to studies of the formation of LIPs and the
consequences on life and the environment. We invite papers on the topic
of the generation and eruptions of LIPs, including both basaltic and
silicic examples, as well as studies of the factors that control the
accumulation of large, eruptible magma bodies, the evolution and
dynamics of such bodies (including magmatic volatile concentrations),
the volcanology of large volume eruptions (effusive and explosive).
Field-based studies on the climatic and environmental impact of large
eruptions and atmospheric model-based assessments of the climatic and
environmental impact of large igneous province eruptions are also
welcome. Finally, paleontological studies of the impact of volcanism on
flora and fauna and cross-disciplinary studies combining evidence from
the ocean sedimentary and land records are encouraged.
