Abstract The Afar Depression is a unique place on Earth where active rift processes can be
directly observed. It is believed to be close to continental breakup. The Afar hotspot has a …

In the Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa) a complex tectonic history preceded Tertiary rifting
creating pre-existing discontinuities that influenced extension-related deformation …

Despite the foundational role East Africa has played in the advancement of our
understanding of continental rifting, there remains substantial ambiguity as to how …

Pre-existing structures in the crust such as shear zones, faults, and mobile belts are known
to exert a significant control on the structural evolution of continental rifts. However, the …

We provide insights into the tectonics of the Asela‐Langano margin, at the eastern boundary
of the central Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa, by combining field structural data, remote …

The magma-poor Newfoundland margin formed following lithospheric stretching, rifting and
breakup resulting in the separation of the Grand Banks from Iberia, and northern …

Asthenosphere-lithosphere interactions modulated by surface processes generate
outstanding topographies and sedimentary basins, but the nature of these interactions and …

Abstract The Bora‐Tullu Moye (TM) volcanic field is a geothermal energy prospect in the
central Main Ethiopian Rift, but little is known about the seismicity of the region. Here we …

Widespread sodic alkali basaltic activity developed from Early Miocene to Pleistocene,
around the northern termination of the Dead Sea Fault Zone, and in the North-West foreland …

Thermal and mechanical models of magma reservoir growth need to be reconciled with
deformation patterns and structural relationships observed at active magma systems …
