Triggering of the largest Deccan eruptions by the Chicxulub impact
Open accessAbstract
New constraints on the timing of the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction and the Chicxulub impact, together with a particularly voluminous and apparently brief eruptive pulse toward the end of the "main-stage" eruptions of the Deccan continental fl ood basalt province suggest that these three events may have occurred within less than about a hundred thousand years of each other.Partial melting induced by the Chicxulub event does not provide an energetically plausible explanation for this coincidence, and both geochronologic and magnetic-polarity data show that Deccan volcanism was under way well before Chicxulub/Cretaceous-Paleogene time.However, historical data document that eruptions from existing volcanic systems can be triggered by earthquakes.Seismic modeling of the ground motion due to the Chicxulub impact suggests that the impact could have generated seismic energy densities of order 0.1-1.0J/m 3 throughout the upper ~200 km of Earth's mantle, suffi cient to trigger volcanic eruptions worldwide based upon comparison with historical examples.Triggering may have been caused by a transient increase in the effective permeability of the existing deep magmatic system beneath the Deccan province, or mantle plume "head."It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize that the Chicxulub impact might have triggered the enormous Poladpur, Ambenali, and Mahabaleshwar (Wai Subgroup) lava fl ows, which together may account for >70% of the Deccan Traps main-stage eruptions.This hypothesis is consistent with independent stratigraphic, geochronologic, geochemical, and tectonic constraints, which combine to indi-cate that at approximately Chicxulub/Cretaceous-Paleogene time, a huge pulse of mantle plume-derived magma passed through the crust with little interaction and erupted to form the most extensive and voluminous lava fl ows known on Earth.High-precision radioisotopic dating of the main-phase Deccan fl ood basalt formations may be able either to confi rm or reject this hypothesis, which in turn might help to determine whether this singular outburst within the Deccan Traps (and possibly volcanic eruptions worldwide) contributed signifi cantly to the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
Overview
CoChat Summary
Written by AI from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
The paper hypothesizes that the Chicxulub impact triggered the largest Deccan flood basalt pulse, the Wai Subgroup (Poladpur, Ambenali, Mahabaleshwar), which may account for >70% of Deccan main-stage eruptions and occurred within ~100,000 yr of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. It argues that impact-generated seismic energy densities of ~0.1–1.0 J/m³ in the upper mantle could have transiently increased permeability in the Deccan plume head, but the hypothesis remains to be tested by high-precision dating.
Key findings
- Deccan volcanism was already underway millions of years before Chicxulub, so the impact could not have initiated it; instead, the paper proposes triggering of the enormous Wai Subgroup pulse, which includes flows with single-eruption volumes approaching ~10,000 km³ and lengths >1000 km.
- Seismic modeling suggests Chicxulub could have generated energy densities of order 0.1–1.0 J/m³ throughout the upper ~200 km of Earth’s mantle, exceeding the ~10⁻¹–10⁰ J/m³ threshold inferred for triggering magmatic volcanoes from historical earthquakes.
- Independent evidence is interpreted as consistent with rapid mantle mobilization: Wai Subgroup dikes lack consistent orientation, Nd isotopes show stronger mantle signatures and less crustal contamination than underlying formations, and REE inversion indicates the lithospheric lid remained at ~60 km before, during, and after the Ambenali eruption.
- The paper estimates that the Wai Subgroup may have erupted over ~100,000 yr, with permeability-response modeling giving magma transport time scales of ~10³–10⁸ yr and a likely midrange of 10⁴–10⁶ yr.
Methods
- Synthesis of Deccan stratigraphy, volume estimates, published ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages, paleomagnetic polarity data, biostratigraphy, dike orientations, and Nd/Sr/Pb and rare earth element geochemistry, plus new field and Google Earth observations of the Poladpur-Bushe contact.
- Seismic scaling from Chicxulub impact energy (~3 × 10²³ J), assumed seismic conversion efficiencies of 10⁻²–10⁻⁵, and estimated moment magnitudes of Mw ~9–11, compared with historical earthquake-triggered eruption thresholds.
- A generalized diffusive melt-migration model using hydraulic diffusivity D = κ/(µβ_eff), permeability κ ~10⁻¹⁵–10⁻¹⁰ m², and length scale L = 300–500 km to estimate response times of the deep Deccan magmatic system.
Limitations
- The paper states that existing radioisotopic age constraints on Deccan volcanism are not very precise, that the physical mechanisms by which earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions are unknown, and that high-precision dating is needed to confirm or reject the hypothesis.
- The paper also states that the new field observations of the Poladpur-Bushe contact are preliminary, that no global study of possible Chicxulub-triggered eruptions was carried out, and that biostratigraphic interpretations depend on whether foraminifera are reworked or in place.
- Evident from the text: the causal claim is a plausibility argument based on timing coincidence and modeling, not a demonstrated mechanism; the authors acknowledge an alternative sudden plume-flow pulse, and volume estimates depend on assumed formation footprints and extents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
