We present a new crustal thickness map of the Chinese mainland and adjacent areas based
on a compilation of previously published data. More than 1900 estimates of crustal thickness …

Abstract Crustal structure in South America is one of the least understood among the Earth's
continental areas. Variations in crustal thickness are still poorly constrained over large …

Abstract The Parnaíba Basin is a large Paleozoic syneclise in northeastern Brazil underlain
by Precambrian crystalline basement, which comprises a complex lithostructural and …

Abstract The Borborema Province BP (NE Brazil) consists of a complex rock mosaic
composed mainly by Proterozoic metasedimentary belts that amalgamate Archean-to …

ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in NE Brazil is part of a large Neoproterozoic orogenic
system related to the assembly of West Gondwana. Its evolution is contentious, due to the …

Numerical experiments have been used to relate the range in the distribution and the style of
deformation observed in rifted margins to localizing/delocalizing thermomechanical …

The structure and nature of the crust underlying the Santos Basin‐São Paulo Plateau
System (SSPS), in the SE Brazilian margin, are discussed based on five wide‐angle seismic …

The Mesozoic sediments of the Araripe Basin peak at ca. 1000 m, more than 500 m above
the host Precambrian basement. This means that an intracontinental graben has been …

Abstract Nazca subduction beneath South America is one of our best modern examples of
long‐lived ocean‐continent subduction on the planet, serving as a foundation for our …

Rifted continental margins may present a predominantly magmatic continent‐ocean
transition (COT), or one characterized by large exposures of serpentinized mantle. In this …
