South China Sea documents the transition from wide continental rift to continental break up
The transition from wide continental rift to continental break-up remains enigmatic. Here, the authors show that northern margin of the South China Sea records the transition between wide continental rift to a highly extended continental margin, with ...

Thermal Effects at Continent-Ocean Transform Margins: A 3D Perspective
Continental breakup along transform margins produces a sequence of (1) continent-continent, (2) continent-oceanic, (3) continent-ridge, and (4) continent-oceanic juxtapositions.

Analysis of Different Methodologies to Calculate Bouguer Gravity Anomalies in the Argentine Continental Margin [PDF]
We have tested and used two methods to determine the Bouguer gravity anomaly in the area of the Argentine continental margin. The first method employs the relationship between the topography and gravity anomaly in the Fourier transform domain using ...

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

The limits of seaward spreading and slope instability at the continental margin offshore Mt Etna, imaged by high-resolution 2D seismic data [PDF]
Highlights: - Analysis of a combined new high-resolution 2D seismic and bathymetric data set offshore Mt Etna - Extensional domains are mapped at the shallow subsurface of the continental margin - Compressional structures are mapped at the toe of the ...

Characterizing bed roughness on the Antarctic continental margin
Spatial variability in bed topography, characterized as bed roughness, impacts ice-sheet flow and organization and can be used to infer subglacial conditions and processes, yet is difficult to quantify due to sparse observations. Paleo-subglacial beds of
