Continental extension may occur in two main different modes, narrow and wide rifting, which
mainly differ in the width of the deformed region. A third mechanism, the core complex, has …

Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira are two active volcanoes of the Western branch of the East
African Rift in the Virunga area. They were built at the Kivu rift axis ca. 12,000 years ago and …

This overview paper considers the East African rift system (EARS) as an intra-continental
ridge system, comprising an axial rift. It describes the structural organization in three …

Transfer zones in extensional regions display a wide range of geometries from discrete fault
zones to zones of broad warping. The classification of extensional fault displacement …

This study presents new major and trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic results for a suite of
Miocene-Recent mafic lavas from the Kivu volcanic province in the western branch of the …

The Western rift, the western branch of the East African rift system, is bordered by high-angle
normal fault systems bounding one side of spoon-shaped basins. Depth-to-detachment …

All normal-fault systems must terminate both along and orthogonal to strike. As many as four
terminations may be associated with a single culmination. Most normalfault systems …

Based on stratigraphic relationships and K/Ar dating of volcanic rocks from both of the
escarpments, flanking plateaus, and from the rift floor of the central sector of the Main …

The kinematic models and the associated orientation of extensional stress of the East
African Rift System have been subjected to much debate since a long time. In the past …

A novel, multidimensional small baseline subset (MSBAS) methodology is presented for
integration of multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data sets for …
