21.6 Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their impact on the lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere.

Scott BRYAN scott.bryan@qut.edu.au (Australia), Steve SELF (UK) and Ingrid UKSTINS-PEATE (USA)

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.


Goldschmidt, Montréal, Canada, June 24-29, 2012

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

Co-convenors:
Paul Sylvester (Memorial University, Newfoundland, Canada) - psylvester@mun.ca
Richard Ernst (Ernst Geosciences) - richard.ernst@ernstgeosciences.com
Mike Hamilton (University of Toronto) - mahamiltongeology.utoronto.ca
Wouter Bleeker (Geological Survey of Canada-Ottawa) - Wouter.Bleeker@NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca

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.


GAC-MAC, St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada, May 27-29, 2012

The Large Igneous Province Record of North America Through Time

Richard Ernst, (Ernst Geosciences, Richard.Ernst@ErnstGeosciences.com), Mike
Hamilton (Department of Geology, University of Toronto,
mahamilton@geology.utoronto.ca), Wouter Bleeker (GSC, Ottawa,
Wouter.Bleeker@NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca), and Paul Sylvester, ( Memorial
University, psylvester@mun.ca)

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.

Académie des Sciences Meeting

Ocean Continent Transition

September 2007


MYRES stands for "Meeting of Young Researchers in Earth Sciences". The science theme of the meeting is chosen by voting. Different meeting ideas are submitted and members of the science community then vote for the meeting they prefer.

We are proposing a meeting on a combined topic:

Magmatism of the Earth and Planets

We propose to get a group of young Earth and planetary scientists together, and this topic is different from other upcoming meetings. It includes a career development workshop, fieldwork and science sessions. The goal is to provide an overview of this field of research, promote discussion and provide young scientists with the skills needed to become successful, independent scientists.

Click here for details.

Please vote for our proposed meeting by July 15, by visiting this website

LIP symposium, 2007 Goldschmidt Conference: Conference link

Hotspots and LIPs: Plumes or shallow-mantle sources

Koln, August 19-24, 2007

Convenors: Dominique Weis, Conny Class & Cinzia Farnetani

Session description:
The origin of hotspots and large igneous processes appears to be as controversial as ever. Points of disagreement extend beyond the current plume debate to questions of the petrologcal nature of the source rocks  (peridotite, eclogite, pyroxenite, and their hybrids), the source of geochemical enrichment (metasomatism, recycling of crust), and the "fixity" of hotspots. This symposium will bring together geochemists, petrologists and geophysicists to debate the issues.
