Reconstructing the tempo and emplacement mechanisms of large igneous provinces (LIPs) and establishing potential links to environmental change and biological crises requires detailed and targeted high-precision geochronology. Contact metamorphism during LIP intrusive magmatism can release large volumes of thermogenic gas, so determining the timing of these events relative to global climate change is crucial. The most reliable age information comes from U-Pb geochronology; however, LIP mafic igneous rocks do not commonly crystallize U-bearing minerals, such as zircon or baddeleyite. Recent work has shown that U-rich minerals can crystallize in fractionated melt pockets in intrusive components of LIPs after contamination of the melt by sedimentary rocks at emplacement level. Zircon and baddeleyite from these pockets make high-precision U-Pb geochronology of LIPs possible, but these unique mechanisms add other complexities.

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) can potentially cause cooling on tens- to thousand-year timescales via injection of sulfur aerosols to the tropo-sphere, and on million-year timescales due to the increase of global weatherability. The ca. 719-Ma Franklin LIP preceded onset of the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation by less than two million years, consistent with CO2 drawdown due to weathering of Ca- and Mg-rich LIP basalts, which may have contributed to cooling past a critical runaway ice-albedo threshold. A relatively cool background climate state and Franklin LIP emplacement near a continental margin in the warm wet tropics may have been critical factors for pushing the Earth’s climate past the threshold of runaway glaciation.

Evolution has not been a simple path. Since the first appearance of complex life, there have been several mass extinctions on Earth. This was exemplified by the most severe event during the Phanerozoic, the end-Permian mass extinction that occurred 252 million years ago and saw a loss of 90% and 70% of all marine and terrestrial species, respectively. Such mass extinctions have entirely reset ecosystems. Increasing evidence points to the massive eruption and crustal emplacement of magmas associated with large igneous provinces (LIPs) as key drivers of these events. Understanding how LIP events disrupted global biogeochemical cycles is of prime importance, especially as humans alter the atmosphere and biosphere today. We explore the cascading impacts of LIP events on global climate, oceans, and land—including runaway greenhouses, the release of toxic metals to the environment, the destruction of the ozone layer, and how global oceans are driven to anoxic and acidic states—all of which have parallels in the consequences of modern industrialisation.
