Abstract The Red Sea is part of an extensive rift system that includes from south to north the
oceanic Sheba Ridge, the Gulf of Aden, the Afar region, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the …

Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

Pangea results from the progressive amalgamation of continental blocks achieved at 320
Ma. Assuming that the ancient concept of “active” versus “passive” rifting remains pertinent …

This study presents an integrated mineralogical–geochemical database on fine-grained
sediments transported by all major rivers of southern Africa, including the Zambezi …

The main goal of this study is to produce a landslide susceptibility map of the Bafoussam-
Dschang region (BDR) which is often subjected to landsliding by using Analytical …

We describe and apply a method for estimating uplift rate histories from longitudinal river
profiles. Our strategy is divided into three parts. First, we develop a forward model, which …

We present a model for the Jurassic to Present evolution of plate boundaries and oceanic
crust of the African plate based on updated interpretation of magnetic, gravity and other …

The Ethiopian region records about one billion years of geological history. The first event
was the closure of the Mozambique ocean between West and East Gondwana with the …

An amazing congruence of seemingly unrelated, diverse global events began in the Middle
and Upper Miocene and established our modern world. Two global orogenic belts were …

We here attempt a global scale mass balance of the continental crust during the
Phanerozoic and especially the Cenozoic (65Ma). Continental crust is mostly recycled back …
