Currently my main research focus is on the link between mass extinctions and the eruptions of large igneous provinces, particularly between the Emeishan Province in the Middle Permian extinction and Central Atlantic Magamatic Province and the end-Triassic mass extinction. In addition, my long-running interest in the end-Permian mass extinction is focussed on the deep ocean records of Japan.
