Correction to: Nature Geoscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-022-01009-x, published online 3 October 2022.

In the version of the article initially published, capitalization was missing from the “late Permian” and “Early Triassic” periods in the title, while “late Permian” as now appears throughout the text was originally spelt “Late Permian,” in error. The changes have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
