Traditionally active rifts are thought to evolve in response to thermal upwelling of the
asthenosphere, whereas passive rifts develop in response to lithospheric extension driven …

In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

In the preceding chapters we have included only a few regional examples and case studies
because of space limitations. The present chapter will, however, provide some examples …

We forward modeled the Bouguer anomaly in a region encompassing the Pacific Ocean
(85° W) and the Andean margin (60° W) between northern Peru (5° S) and Patagonia (45° …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

Abstract The Early Eocene magma-rich northeast Atlantic rifted margins contain a large
number of pre-breakup and post-breakup compressional structures, located in abandoned …

Antarctic geothermal heat flow (GHF) affects the temperature of the ice sheet, determining its
ability to slide and internally deform, as well as the behaviour of the continental crust …

The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm disintegrated an
inhomogeneous collage of cratons sutured by cross-cutting orogens. Volcanic rifted margins …

Abstract The Norwegian-Greenland Sea (NGS) in the NE Atlantic comprises diverse tectonic
regimes and structural features including sub-oceanic basins of different ages …

Eocene magmatic breakup along the mid‐Norway rifted margin was preceded by extreme
Jurassic‐Cretaceous crustal thinning in a magma‐poor environment. Along the SE borders …
