This Special Paper summarizes evidence for 156 km of net San Gregorio–Hosgri fault slip based on an analysis of onshore and offshore geologic mapping supplemented by reappraisal of key geologic features offset by San Gregorio–Hosgri fault movements

and associated climate and environmental changes

and from 1940 onward the history and results are presented in separate chapters for each decade

Participants concluded that large igneous province volcanism along with associated climate and environmental changes played significant roles in four of the five major mass extinctions in Earth history

Archer Buy the e book (not available in print) This compilation of papers is a synthesis of some of the largest depositional systems, designed to stretch our thinking beyond our sometimes limited uniformanitarianistic and actualistic views. The volume attempts to explore the hows and whys of sedimentary events that exceed the present norms by as much as orders of magnitude. The papers explore a range of
