Large igneous provinces
(LIPs) represent episodic, catastrophic
igneous events throughout Earth history.
They are distinguished by high intensity
bursts of principally mantle-derived magma
to the crust and surface over geologically
short timescales. LIP volcanism had a major
impact on the lithosphere, atmosphere and
biosphere, and consequently has been implicated
as a driving factor in environmental change
based on the temporal relationship with
several mass extinction events through
the Phanerozoic. Not only can individual
eruptions pose a significant hazard through
atmospheric loading of volcanic aerosols,
but elevated eruption frequency and the
potential for synchronous mafic ± silicic
large-magnitude (>M8)
eruptions mean that environmental change
may be exacerbated by the cumulative effects
of multiple eruptions, both direct and
indirect. Over the last 10 years, proposed
mechanisms for environmental change include
volcanic CO2 or S emissions, gas emissions
from clathrate or hydrocarbon disturbance,
and Fe fertilisation of oceans from ash
loading. This Symposium seeks cross-disciplinary
contributions from the Earth, atmospheric,
climate, and biological sciences that are
investigating the lithospheric to atmospheric
impact of LIPs. Contributions focusing
on assessing the integrated impact and
the rates and mechanisms of Earth system
response to LIP magmatism are encouraged.
The
fourth circular is due out in January and
abstract deadline is 17 February 2012.

4g. Geochronology and geochemistry of
large igneous provinces
(co-hosted by Themes 4 and 5)

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the
result of large volume magmatic events
emplaced over short time scales, found
through all of the geologic record. Recent
advances in U-Pb geochronology of baddeleyite
by TIMS, SIMS and LA-ICPMS have allowed
many more mafic LIP events to be dated
precisely. The new ages are used for correlations
between LIP units on now dispersed terrane
fragments, providing constraints on reconstructions
of supercontinents. Precise age data also
allow geochemical comparisons between different
LIP events, leading to a better understanding
of variations in their mantle sources and
melting processes. This session aims to
highlight the analytical developments of
U-Pb geochronology of baddeleyite and the
application of high-precision age data
for LIPs to paleo-continental reconstructions,
mantle geochemistry, mantle dynamics and
plumes, the intrusive and extrusive architecture
of LIPs, global environmental catastrophes
and biological mass extinctions, and the
genesis and distribution of ore deposits
and hydrocarbons within LIP systems.

This session will focus on large igneous
provinces (LIPs) in North America, through
all of geological time, also in adjacent
ocean basins (e.g. Iceland, the Arctic
basin), and in formerly attached continental
blocks (e.g. Europe, NW Africa, Siberia,
Australia? etc.). Contributions on all
aspects of LIP magmatism are welcome: mantle
dynamics and plumes, the intrusive and
extrusive architecture of LIPs, their interaction
with sedimentary basins and hydrocarbons,
the broader Earth system, geochemistry,
geochronology and paleomagnetism, paleogeographic
reconstructions, and ore deposits.
