The last lavas erupted during the main phase of the Siberian flood volcanic province: results from experimental petrology
The final lavas of the Siberian flood basalts are a ∼1,000 m thick section of meimechites, high-alkali, high-titanium, hydrous lavas that contrast sharply with the tholeiites that precede them. This paper pres...

Open AccessCompensating affected parties necessary for rapid coal phase-out but expensive if extended to major emitters
Coal power phase-out is critical for climate mitigation, yet it harms workers, companies, and coal-dependent regions. We find that more than half of countries that pledge coal phase-out have “just transition”...
