Includes the following sessions:
Large igneous provinces in space and time
Convenors: Hafida El Bilali (hafidaelbilali@cunet.carleton.ca)
There is an ongoing dramatic expansion of the global Large Igneous Provinces (LIP) record back to >3 Ga, and progress in characterizing the LIP plumbing system and link with mantle plumes, and understanding the key role that LIPs have in a range of major geodynamic processes, including formation and evolution of lithosphere and mantle, supercontinent breakup, dramatic climate change including mass extinctions, major regional topographic changes, formation of major ore deposits, and links with silicic magmatism (SLIPs), carbonatites and kimberlites. Another important aspect is LIP analogues on other planets (especially Mars and Venus). This session welcomes presentations on all aspects of these many exciting frontier research areas on LIPs.
Cretaceous volcanism: global distribution bearing on tectonics of continents and oceanic regions, K-T boundary and major extinction
Convenors: Kiran Shanker Misra (drksmisra@gmail.com)
Deep drilling and high resolution seismic profiling, In both continental and oceanic regions for exploration of hydrocarbons has revealed global presence of colossal and spasmodic volcanism. This has bearing on extensional tectonism, development of vertical faults, decompression melting, pull apart basins, formation of hydrocarbon pools and preferential accumulation. This has also illustrated precise K-T Boundary, climate change and global extinction.
