Large Igneous Provinces: A Driver of Global Environmental and Biotic Changes provides an overview of the role of Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) as significant drivers of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions. Environmental changes caused by LIPs and SLIPs can include rapid global warming, global cooling ('Snowball Earth'), oceanic anoxia events, mercury poisoning, atmospheric and oceanic acidification, and sea level changes. This new 21-chapter volume (published in January 2021) is OPEN ACCESS; therefore, all chapters and indeed the entire book can be downloaded for free. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119507444
