  abstract = {<p>The nature and causes of mass extinctions in the geological past have remained topics of intense scientific debate for the past three decades.\&nbsp; Central to this debate is the question of whether one or several large bolide impacts, the eruption of large igneous provinces (LIPS), or a combination of the two were the primary mechanism(s) driving the environmental and habitat changes that are universally regarded as the proximate causes for four of the five major extinction events.\&nbsp; Recent years have seen a revolution in our understanding of both the interplanetary environment and LIPS eruptions and their environmental effects such that the current impact-kill scenario no longer seems adequate for the KT (KPg) or any other mass extinction.\&nbsp; Massive sequential volcanic eruptions and the breakup of giant comets leading to rapid climate change, ocean anoxia and ozone destruction emerge as the leading causes in major mass extinctions.\&nbsp; <a href="https://geoweb.princeton.edu/research/keller/pubs/Keller_2010_Controv_Geosc_long.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a></p>
