To understand this extinction, I wanted first to get a sense of its scale. That's difficult—sediments containing fossils from the end of the Permian are rare and often inaccessible. One site ...

Researchers from Nanjing University in China discovered some imperative insights from the end-Permian mass extinction, which was the most severe ecological event in the Phanerozoic approximately ...

Copper-rich minerals indicating widespread volcanic activity at the end-Permian mass extinction in different regions in southern China. The minerals are all copper sulfides, mostly Malachite —the ...

(CN) — A rapid rise in CO2 emissions primarily released by the Siberian Traps volcanism drove the end-Permian mass extinction 252 million years ago which obliterated 90% of all marine species and 70% ...

The end-Permian extinction some 252 million years ago, coinciding with the formation of Pangea, killed some 90 percent of the planet's species. But life finds a way. At the time the ancestors of ...

Q: It is possible that the Permian extinction was the result ... From work on the KT [the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous], we already know something about what happens after an ...

If you thought the mass extinction caused by the Chicxulub ... they concluded that Methanosarcina began to thrive towards the end of the Permian period; that meant more methane, which was ...

They then compared their model to the magnitude of past mass extinctions captured in the fossil record, especially to the End-Permian Extinction - Earth's deadliest extinction event so far.

Her interest in field­-based research led her to the laboratory of David Bottjer at the University of Southern California, where she studied the aftermath of the end-­Permian mass extinction event.
