Stable isotope notation
editAt some point in the revision history of this article, the magnitude of stable isotopic oscillations at the CPE went converted in % units. This is very unusual for the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen, which are expressed as permil (‰) as a standard. See for example Isotopes of carbon. I am to convert all values in ‰ in the next days, unless there was a specific reason not to do so..., in such a case, please advise. --Kaapitone (talk) 10:23, 20 January 2019 (UTC) Update: I did the conversion today. --Kaapitone (talk) 10:16, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
New research
editThere's been some new research on the Carnian Pluvial Event done by the Australian Grographic, there might be some new additional information that could be helpful in the information. This new research is suggesting that we could have our 6th mass extinction event to be discovered (excluding the Holocene extinction event) [1]
Note: This is my first Wikipedia talk post, and I have no idea how to use this information in wikipedia to help with the information. Hope someone reads through and considers these information. Cory Ponyeim (talk) 08:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the news! I started modifying according to the new literature, much has been published on the CPE since the last significant changes indeed and the page needs a refresh. I hope I will have time to work on it in the next weeks. Kaapitone (talk) 17:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

High mountain ranges generate monsoons?
editCould anyone who is knowledgeable about the subject verify the accuracy of this statement, please? The way I understand it is that it saying that the Himalayas in India cause/are the main cause of the monsoons observed in the region, while what I gather from our monsoon article is that the winds that bring moisture is a planet-wide phenomenon – like trade winds are – which happen to blow from the ocean to the continent in India's case: "The new mountain range was forming on the southern side of Laurasia, and acted then as the Himalayas and Asia do today for the Indian Ocean, maintaining a strong pressure gradient between the ocean and continent, and thus generating a monsoon."
