A new study reveals that Earth's biomes changed dramatically in the wake of mass volcanic eruptions 252 million years ago.

Scientists don't call it the "Great Dying" for nothing. About 252 million years ago, upward of 80% of all marine species ...

And others have proposed that the climate changes associated with the end-Permian era suited certain surviving animals more ...

Stanford scientists found that dramatic climate changes after the Great Dying enabled a few marine species to spread globally ...

About 252 million years ago, 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. In the Turpan-Hami Basin, life persisted and bounced back faster.

After Earth's worst mass extinction, surviving ocean animals spread worldwide. Stanford's model shows why this happened.

The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth. Huge volcanoes erupted, releasing 100,000 billion metric tons of carbon ...
