DCT Lecturer as co-editor of "Carbon Cycle and Ecosystem Response to the Jenkyns Event in the Early Toarcian (Jurassic)"

In an edition of the Special Publications of the Geological Society of London, volume 514 has just been published entitled "Carbon Cycle and Ecosystem Response to the Jenkyns Event in the Early Toarcian (Jurassic)", co-edited by Luís Vítor Duarte from the Department of Sciences at UC land. This volume brings together 16 articles signed by dozens of authors that intersect a great diversity of approaches related to the "Jenkyns event". One of the most curious and interesting episodes in the history of planet Earth, which took place in the lower Toarcian (around 183-182 million years ago, Lower Jurassic), and which resulted from a multiplicity of events involving the various terrestrial systems, from volcanism, seafloor anoxia (Lower Toarcian oceanic anoxic event) and temperature rise, which led to a major mass extinction.
