Understanding and Mitigating Large-Scale Environmental Disasters

The Permian-Triassic mass extinction event, also known as 'The Great Dying', is a prime example of a large-scale environmental disaster that led to the extinction of 90-96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species. The causes and effects of such events are not well understood, and there is a need to study and develop strategies to prevent or mitigate similar disasters in the future.
