The study focuses on the Siberian Traps magma and its role in creating a sub-volcanic plumbing system, leading to the formation of sills in the Tunguska Basin that release gases during metamorphism.
The findings reveal that sills over 100 meters thick are common, especially in Cambrian evaporites, with an average thickness of 115-130 meters.
Thermal modeling indicates these sills can generate significant amounts of CO₂, reinforcing the idea that sub-volcanic activity contributed to environmental changes during the End-Permian crisis.
