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 …

Exploring the interactions between rift propagation and inherited crustal fabrics through experimental modeling
Continental rifting is a geodynamic process that involves the breakup of the crust and may
eventually evolve to seafloor spreading. Although it is often assumed to be a product of …

Cenozoic basement-involved rifting of the northern South China Sea margin
Abstract The northern South China Sea (SCS) margin developed on a thinning crust
comprising basement-involved structures inherited from the post-orogenic extension of the …

Quantification and restoration of the pre‐drift extension across the NE Atlantic conjugate margins during the mid‐Permian‐early Cenozoic multi‐rifting phases
The formation of the NE Atlantic conjugate margins is the result of multiple rifting phases
spanning from the Late Paleozoic and culminating in the early Eocene when breakup was …

Normal fault reactivation during multiphase extension: Analogue models and application to the Turkana depression, East Africa
We present crustal scale physical analogue models of multiphase rifting to provide new
constraints on the role exerted by faults formed during early extension on structures …
