Over the past two decades, multidisciplinary studies have unearthed a rich history of
volcanic activity and unrest in the densely-populated East African Rift System, providing new …

In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

Abstract Development of renewable energy infrastructure requires critical raw materials,
such as the rare earth elements (REEs, including scandium) and niobium, and is driving …

Volcanic eruptions are common, with more than 50 volcanic eruptions in the United States
alone in the past 31 years. These eruptions can have devastating economic and social …

Our field studies emphasizing brittle shear P-and Y-planes along the margins of the Barmer
basin (Rajasthan, India) support its two-phase (NW-SE, followed by NE-SW) extension …

Abstract The Los Humeros Volcanic Complex (LHVC) is a large silicic caldera complex in
the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), hosting a geothermal field currently in exploitation …

Understanding the magmatic plumbing system of rift volcanoes is essential when examining
the interplay between magmatic and tectonic forces. Recent seismicity, volcanic activity …

During the development of continental rifts, strain accommodation shifts from border faults to
intra-rift faults. This transition represents a critical process in the evolution of rift basins in the …

Restless silicic calderas present major geological hazards, and yet many also host
significant untapped geothermal resources. In East Africa, this poses a major challenge …

Groundwater dynamics in continental rift zone settings remain poorly understood because of
the spatial heterogeneity in flow, storage, and recharge dynamics. The Central Kenya Rift is …
