Tectonics and cycle system of the Cretaceous Songliao Basin: An inverted active continental margin basin

Earth-Science Reviews, 2016
Recent ICDP drilling and deep basin volcanic exploration of 3000 m below the surface in the Songliao Basin (SB) have highlighted the 3-D delineation of the basin. The integrated new data led us to reevaluate the basin tectonics, for which the basin type,

Architecture Differences and Hydrocarbon Accumulation in Passive Continental Margin Basins in East Africa

Applied Sciences, 2023
In this paper, we study the structural characteristics and sedimentary filling differences of the passive continental margin basins of East Africa and establish hydrocarbon accumulation models in different basins.

Continental margin sediments underlying the NE Pacific oxygen minimum zone are a source of nitrous oxide to the water column

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2021
Continental margin sediments are important sites of marine nitrogen cycling and potential contributors to atmospheric N2O emissions. We employed trace‐level N2O microsensors to measure vertical N2O profiles at submillimeter resolutions in intact cores ...

Rift-related paleogeography of the European margin in the Eastern Alps (Central Tauern Window)

Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2022
Continent-derived tectonic units in the Tauern Window of the Alps exhibit stratigraphic and structural traces of extension of continental margins eventually leading to the opening of the Alpine Tethys.

Structural characteristics and exploration fields in passive continental margin basins of Central Atlantic

Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2023
The petroleum resources of the passive continental margin basins in the Central Atlantic are rich, but the insufficient knowledge of basin structural characteristics and accumulation conditions in the area restricts the exploration of deepwater oil and ...

Continental influence on the fertilization of marine waters during the late quaternary in the south of the Brazilian continental margin

Ocean and Coastal Research, 2022
This study sought to understand the role of continental influence on ocean productivity along the late Quaternary based on the comparison between continental palynomorphs and paleoproductivity proxies from the marine sediment core SIS188. Retrieved from

Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic [PDF]

, 2015
The “passiveness” of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical movement post-breakup.

Asymmetric continental deformation during South Atlantic rifting along southern Brazil and Namibia [PDF]

, 2017
Plate restoration of South America and Africa to their pre-breakup position faces the problem of gaps and overlaps between the continents, an issue commonly solved with implementing intra-plate deformation zones within South America.

Structure of the lithosphere and conditions of formation of the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge (density and physical modeling)

Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2020
The Chagos-Laccadiv Range is a linear-elongated structure adjacent to the passive margin of western India. The ridge consists of three segments: northern — Lakkadiv ridge, central — Maldives ridge and southern — bank (archipelago) Chagos.
