Decarbonization related to continental arc magmatism as a possible mechanism for Cretaceous warming
Elevated concentrations of CO₂ have been proposed as the reason that the Cretaceous climate was 6-14°C warmer than the present, however the source of Cretaceous CO₂ is unknown [Barron, 1983]. This study examines the possibility of continental arc magmatism as a mechanism for CO2 release, …
