Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces: A Comparative Approach offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies of large igneous provinces (LIPs) by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that unravels the geological, thermal, and biological repercussions of LIP formation. The rapid emplacement of these provinces, often associated with continental break-up, mineral deposits, and mass extinctions remains a subject of intense debate. This book presents an accessible, yet detailed, analysis of several Phanerozoic LIPs, strategically selected for their scientific significance, and arranged chronologically. It provides a foundational reference for LIPs, utilizing a chapter-wide template to facilitate comparisons of crucial aspects and processes.

Users will find comprehensive knowledge on over 20 important LIPs, including historical context and uniqueness, geological background, physical characteristics and formations, age and geochronology, mineralogy, and synthesis.

Provides a foundational reference for LIPs, including perspectives on geological, thermal, and biological impacts of their formation
Presents LIPs that have been carefully selected and planned due to their scientific significance, and in order of age
Uses a consistent template across the book that allows chapter by chapter comparisons so that readers can easily compare key elements between different LIPs

J. Gregory Shellnutt is a Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University. His research focuses on the geochemistry and geochronology of magmatic rocks from large igneous provinces, Precambrian mafic dyke swarms, the Central African Orogenic Belt, and the Appalachian Orogeny. He was awarded Young Scientist awards from the Mineralogical Association of Canada and Academia Sinica, the Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan) Outstanding Research Award in 2015 and 2022, and the Ma Ting Ying and Wang Hanzhuo awards from the Geological Society of Taiwan. Greg is currently the Co-Editor-in Chief of Lithos, Associate Editor of Journal of the Geological Society of India, and editorial board member of Scientific Reports and Frontiers in Earth Sciences.Steven W. Denyszyn is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Earth Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. Previous affiliations include the University of Toronto, the Berkeley Geochronology Center, and the University of Western Australia. He primarily uses high-precision U-Pb geochronology to study the timing and rates of igneous processes, particularly large igneous provinces and magmatic ore deposits, as well as mass extinctions, paleocontinental reconstructions, and tectonics.
