Morphotectonic Analysis of the East Manus Basin, Papua New Guinea

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Backarc basin systems are important sites of extension leading to crustal rupture where basin development typically occurs in rifting phases (or stages) with the final successful stages identified by the formation of spreading ridges and new oceanic ...
