Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution
A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Towards a process-based understanding of rifted continental margins
Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Drainage divide migration and implications for climate and biodiversity
Drainage divides separate Earth's surface into individual river basins. Divide migration
impacts the evolution of landforms, regional climate, ecosystems and biodiversity. In this …

Analog and Numerical Modeling of Rift‐Rift‐Rift Triple Junctions
Abstract Rift‐Rift‐Rift triple junctions are key features of emergent plate boundary networks
during fragmentation of a continent. A key example of such a setting is the Afar triple junction …

The Impact of Climate‐Driven Lake Level Changes on Mantle Melting in Continental Rifts
Climate cycles fundamentally control surface processes that affect the distribution of water
and sediment, and their associated loads, across the Earth's surface. Here, we use a …

Coordination between deformation, precipitation, and erosion during orogenic growth
Crustal thickening associated with orogenic growth elevates topography, causing
orographic enhancement of precipitation, which in turn facilitates local erosion and possibly …
