    VOL. 97 NO. 18 15 SEP 2016 NORTH AMERICA’S MIDCONTINENT RIFT Augmented Reality for Earth Science Quirky Geoscience Tunes Future of AGU Meetings NEW in Fall 2016 GeoHealth will foster the intersection of Earth science disciplines (Earth processes, climate change, atmospheric and ocean sciences, hydrology, among others), with those of the health sciences, defined broadly (environmental and ecosystem health and services, human and agricultural health, geomedicine, and the impact of natural hazards). Now Accepting Applications for Two Editors in Chief of GeoHealth AGU is launching GeoHealth under Founding Editor Rita R. Colwell. We are seeking applications for two dynamic, well-organized scientists with high editorial standards and strong leadership skills to serve 4-year terms as the editors in chief (EICs) to lead this exciting journal starting in 2017 and beyond. One editor’s main area of focus will be on the geosciences, while the other editor’s main area of focus will be on health. This is an important opportunity to help shape and lead this increasingly important, cross-cutting discipline. The EICs will be the principal architects of the scientific content of the journal. They are active scientists, well-known and well-regarded in their respective discipline. The EICs must be active in soliciting the best science from the best scientists to be published in the journal. Working with the other editors and AGU staff, EICs are the arbiter of the content of the journal. Among other functions, EICs will be responsible for: • Acting as an ambassador to the author/editor/reviewer/scientist community. • Setting the strategy for the journal.

  • Project Report: the Siberian Traps and the End-Permian Mass Extinction
    Project Report: The Siberian Traps and the end-Permian mass extinction During the summer of 2008, I spent a month and a half in the field in Arctic Siberia. The eruption of the Siberian Traps ca. 252 million years ago was one of the greatest volcanic cataclysms in the geologic record, and may have been associated with the most severe biotic crisis since the Cambrian radiation. The remnants of this volcanism are exposed along the remote Kotuy River in Siberia (Figure 1). The causes of the end-Permian mass extinction, during which > 90% of marine species vanished forever, remain poorly understood. The apparently coincident eruption of the Siberian Traps large igneous province—which is one of the most voluminous continental flood basalt provinces in Phanerozoic time—has been widely invoked as a potential trigger mechanism for the mass extinction (e.g. Campbell et al., 1992). By traveling to the scene of this ancient eruption in Siberia, I hoped to gather clues to the character and possible environmental consequences of the eruption. I accompanied a small team of scientists from Russia and MIT, including my doctoral advisor (Linda Elkins-Tanton). The Siberian Traps are difficult to reach, and logistics were complex. As shown in Figure Figure 1. White star marks the approximate location of field work in the summer of 2008, along the Kotuy River in Siberia (71°54 N, 102° 7’ E). Figure 2. We used small water craft to navigate the Kotuy River and reach the Siberian Traps volcanic stratigraphy. The cliffs shown here are limestones from the underlying sedimentary sequence.

  • Environmental Effects of Large Igneous Province Magmatism: a Siberian Perspective Benjamin A
    20 Environmental effects of large igneous province magmatism: a Siberian perspective benjamin a. black, jean-franc¸ois lamarque, christine shields, linda t. elkins-tanton and jeffrey t. kiehl 20.1 Introduction Even relatively small volcanic eruptions can have significant impacts on global climate. The eruption of El Chichón in 1982 involved only 0.38 km3 of magma (Varekamp et al., 1984); the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1993 involved 3–5km3 of magma (Westrich and Gerlach, 1992). Both these eruptions produced statistically significant climate signals lasting months to years. Over Earth’s his- tory, magmatism has occurred on vastly larger scales than those of the Pinatubo and El Chichón eruptions. Super-eruptions often expel thousands of cubic kilo- metres of material; large igneous provinces (LIPs) can encompass millions of cubic kilometres of magma. The environmental impact of such extraordinarily large volcanic events is controversial. In this work, we explore the unique aspects of LIP eruptions (with particular attention to the Siberian Traps), and the significance of these traits for climate and atmospheric chemistry during eruptive episodes. As defined by Bryan and Ernst (2008), LIPs host voluminous (> 100,000 km3) intraplate magmatism where the majority of the magmas are emplaced during short igneous pulses. The close temporal correlation between some LIP eruptions and mass extinction events has been taken as evidence supporting a causal relationship (Courtillot, 1994; Rampino and Stothers, 1988; Wignall, 2001); as geochronological data become increasingly precise, they have continued to indicate that this temporal association may rise above the level of coincidence (Blackburn et al., 2013). Several obstacles obscure the mechanisms that might link LIP magmatism with the degree of global environmental change sufficient to trigger mass extinction.

  • Large Igneous Provinces: a Driver of Global Environmental and Biotic Changes, Geophysical Monograph 255, First Edition
    2 Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement Jennifer Kasbohm1, Blair Schoene1, and Seth Burgess2 ABSTRACT There is an apparent temporal correlation between large igneous province (LIP) emplacement and global envi- ronmental crises, including mass extinctions. Advances in the precision and accuracy of geochronology in the past decade have significantly improved estimates of the timing and duration of LIP emplacement, mass extinc- tion events, and global climate perturbations, and in general have supported a temporal link between them. In this chapter, we review available geochronology of LIPs and of global extinction or climate events. We begin with an overview of the methodological advances permitting improved precision and accuracy in LIP geochro- nology. We then review the characteristics and geochronology of 12 LIP/event couplets from the past 700 Ma of Earth history, comparing the relative timing of magmatism and global change, and assessing the chronologic support for LIPs playing a causal role in Earth’s climatic and biotic crises. We find that (1) improved geochronol- ogy in the last decade has shown that nearly all well-dated LIPs erupted in < 1 Ma, irrespective of tectonic set- ting; (2) for well-dated LIPs with correspondingly well-dated mass extinctions, the LIPs began several hundred ka prior to a relatively short duration extinction event; and (3) for LIPs with a convincing temporal connection to mass extinctions, there seems to be no single characteristic that makes a LIP deadly. Despite much progress, higher precision geochronology of both eruptive and intrusive LIP events and better chronologies from extinc- tion and climate proxy records will be required to further understand how these catastrophic volcanic events have changed the course of our planet’s surface evolution.

  • Wrangellia Flood Basalts in Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia: Exploring the Growth and Magmatic History of a Late Triassic Oceanic Plateau
    WRANGELLIA FLOOD BASALTS IN ALASKA, YUKON, AND BRITISH COLUMBIA: EXPLORING THE GROWTH AND MAGMATIC HISTORY OF A LATE TRIASSIC OCEANIC PLATEAU By ANDREW R. GREENE A THESIS SUBMITTED iN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Geological Sciences) UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2008 ©Andrew R. Greene, 2008 ABSTRACT The Wrangellia flood basalts are parts of an oceanic plateau that formed in the eastern Panthalassic Ocean (ca. 230-225 Ma). The volcanic stratigraphy presently extends >2300 km in British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska. The field relationships, age, and geochemistry have been examined to provide constraints on the construction of oceanic plateaus, duration of volcanism, source of magmas, and the conditions of melting and magmatic evolution for the volcanic stratigraphy. Wrangellia basalts on Vancouver Island (Karmutsen Formation) form an emergent sequence consisting of basal sills, submarine flows (>3 km), pillow breccia and hyaloclastite (<1 1cm), and subaerial flows (>1.5 km). Karmutsen stratigraphy overlies Devonian to Permian volcanic arc (—‘380-355 Ma) and sedimentary sequences and is overlain by Late Triassic limestone. The Karmutsen basalts are predominantly homogeneous tholeiitic basalt (6-8 wt% MgO); however, the submarine part of the stratigraphy, on northern Vancouver Island, contains picritic pillow basalts (9-20 wt% MgO). Both lava groups have overlapping initial and ENd, indicating a common, ocean island basalt (OIB)-type Pacific mantle source similar to the source of basalts from the Ontong Java and Caribbean Plateaus. The major-element chemistry of picrites indicates extensive melting (23 -27%) of anomalously hot mantle (‘—1500°C), which is consistent with an origin from a mantle plume head.

  • Large Igneous Provinces and Mass Extinctions: an Update
    Downloaded from specialpapers.gsapubs.org on April 29, 2015 OLD G The Geological Society of America Special Paper 505 2014 OPEN ACCESS Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: An update David P.G. Bond* Department of Geography, Environment and Earth Science, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX, UK, and Norwegian Polar Institute, Fram Centre, 9296 Tromsø, Norway Paul B. Wignall School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK ABSTRACT The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known. Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous province eruptions during several extinction crises that show the best correlation with mass volcanism: the Frasnian-Famennian (Late Devonian), Capi- tanian (Middle Permian), end-Permian, end-Triassic, and Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinctions. It is clear that there is no direct correlation between total volume of lava and extinction magnitude because there is always suffi cient recovery time between individual eruptions to negate any cumulative effect of successive fl ood basalt erup- tions. Instead, the environmental and climatic damage must be attributed to single- pulse gas effusions. It is notable that the best-constrained examples of death-by- volcanism record the main extinction pulse at the onset of (often explosive) volcanism (e.g., the Capitanian, end-Permian, and end-Triassic examples), suggesting that the rapid injection of vast quantities of volcanic gas (CO2 and SO2) is the trigger for a truly major biotic catastrophe. Warming and marine anoxia feature in many extinc- tion scenarios, indicating that the ability of a large igneous province to induce these proximal killers (from CO2 emissions and thermogenic greenhouse gases) is the single most important factor governing its lethality.

Ultramafic-mafic dykes and carbonatite complexes of the LIP also intrude the more cen- Accepted 5 March 2017 tral parts of the craton. Most of this magmatism occurred 1880 Ma. Previously a wide range of models Available online 09 March 2017 have been proposed for the different segments of the CSLIP with the upper mantle as the source of mag- matism. New major and trace element and Nd-Hf isotopic data reveal that the segments of the CSLIP can be treated as a single entity formed in a single tectonomagmatic environment.
