Physical volcanology of continental large igneous provinces: update and review
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) form in both oceanic and continental settings by the emplacement and eruption of voluminous magmas ranging from basalt to rhyolite in composition. Continental flood basalt provinces are the best studied LIPs and consist of crustal intrusive systems, extensive flood lavas and ignimbrites, and mafic volcaniclastic deposits in varying proportions. Intrusive rocks are...
متن کاملLarge Igneous Provinces: Crustal Structure, Dimensions, and External Consequences
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a continuum of voluminous iron and magnesium rich rock emplacements which include continental flood basalts and associated intrusive rocks, volcanic passive margins, oceanic plateaus, submarine ridges, seamount groups, and ocean basin flood basalts. Such provinces do not originate at "normal" seafloor spreading centers. We compile all known in situ LIPs younge...
متن کاملImpact induced melting and the development of large igneous provinces
We use hydrodynamic modelling combined with known data on mantle melting behaviour to examine the potential for decompression melting of lithosphere beneath a large terrestrial impact crater. This mechanism may generate sufficient quantity of melt to auto-obliterate the crater. Melting would initiate almost instantaneously, but the effects of such massive mantle melting may trigger long-lived m...
متن کاملA look back and a look ahead.
The author reviews a series of predictions made more than two decades ago regarding nursing and nursing administration. These concerned the work of nursing, the workers involved in nursing, the environment surrounding practice, and the nurse's role. While many of the forecasts were right on target, others fell short of the mark; both are discussed in light of the challenges facing nurse adminis...
متن کاملLipoproteins and atherosclerosis. A look back and a look ahead.
I is an honor and privilege to present the 1982 Duff Memorial Lecture. I should start by confessing that for some years I have felt a bit like a pretender in the field of atherosclerosis research. To be sure, I have been very much involved in lipid and lipoprotein research and so, to the extent that lipoproteins are involved in atherogenesis, I could justify my participation in the proceedings ...
