Abstract in brief

  • The Late Triassic Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE) was characterized by increased humidity and temperature, connected to volcanic activity from the Wrangellia province, and it coincided with significant biological changes on Earth, including the rise of dinosaurs and modern conifers.
  • A detailed study from the Jiyuan Basin in North China provides evidence of this relationship, utilizing methods like U-Pb zircon dating and sediment analysis to show how volcanic eruptions closely corresponded with environmental changes.
  • The findings suggest that large-scale volcanic eruptions can happen in distinct pulses, significantly impacting the carbon cycle, climate, and evolution during the Triassic period, rather than following a simple pattern of rise and decline.

https://t.co/A2GPGZ1lwO The Carnian Pluvial Episode can be resolved into four distinct events, each one driven by a discrete pulse of intense volcanism associated with enormous releases of carbon dioxide and intensification of the hydrological cycle. https://t.co/fwUMK1WqyS
