VII International Conference Large Igneous Provinces through Earth history: mantle plumes, supercontinents, climate change, metallogeny and oil-gas, planetary analogues (August 28 - September 8, 2019, Tomsk, Russia)

This conference series began in 2007 in Novosibirsk, Siberia and continued in 2009 - Novosibirsk; 2011 - Irkutsk; 2013 - Hanoi, Vietnam; 2015 - Irkutsk; 2017 - Chengdu, China. The early conferences (2007-2015) were focused on the LIP record of Asia, but the current focus is more global. The last conference was held at Tomsk State University. The topics of the past conference are much broader and include: LIP record through time (and on other planets) and their causes, including the role of mantle plumes; petrological, geodynamic and geophysical aspects; Organic world - oil/gas, and influence of LIPs; LIP effect on climate as recorded in the sedimentary record and other. Its participants - and there are 169 scientists from Russia and another 12 countries of the world - discussed topics related to the formation of supercontinent, climate change, the formation of oil and gas fields, as well as the development of the terrestrial planets.
